Spartech’s alignment with BD’s strategy and delivery of sustainable value has distinguished Spartech in a competitive supplier environment.” Spartech was one of only seven suppliers to be selected for a Gold Award from BD in 2011.

The Gold Award is reserved for those companies that excel the most in these categories.
“This Gold Award is a testament to the dedication Spartech has to delighting its customers,” said Carol O’Neill, SVP, Spartech Packaging Technologies. “Delivering quality, sustainable, value-added solutions to our customers is consistent with our Company’s vision.
