Industry veteran to oversee all departments for shipping solutions provider as packaging volumes continue to peak

PACT, LLC, an innovator of packaging and crating technologies, has promoted Josh Mort to General Manager. In this position, Josh will be responsible for managing all of PACT’s departments including production, sales, and growth initiatives as more product manufacturers seek lighter, sustainable and durable shipping solutions with the number of packages shipped continuing an upward trajectory.

Josh has been with PACT since 2012. Throughout his tenure, he has been in charge of daily office functions, offering his expertise to responsibilities including accounting, customer service, planning, purchasing, and accounts payable. Prior to joining PACT, Josh worked for Fastenal Industrial Supply, where he was responsible for managing inventory control as well as overseeing big-ticket customer deliveries.

“We are excited to have Josh as PACT’s General Manager,” said Roger Mort, president of PACT. “His in-depth knowledge of our products and processes, as well as his experience in the industrial packaging and shipping industries, are invaluable and will undoubtedly be an asset in his new role.”

Among other novel shipping solutions, PACT recently introduced Thermo Shield™, a paper-based, fire-resistant shipping wrap designed to prevent catastrophes caused by battery explosions during transport. Utilizing a technology that actively and automatically cools the internal environment of a corrugated container, the paper-based, 100% recyclable protective logistics product prevents damage to the outside shipping container, suppresses fumes or gasses from escaping, and limits external oxygen supply. The company also is known for its patented J-Crates – customized corrugated crating solutions offering reduced shipping costs, maximization of warehousing space, and increased sustainability.
