On April 3, 2017, Englander dZignPak launched the 50 Weeks of Giving campaign with an employee celebration at our Dallas plant on Monday and the following Friday, April 7, at the Waco facility. Employees enjoyed a catered lunch, laughs, and giveaways, along with interviews and first-hand stories on the company’s history from our founders, Louie Englander (Englander Container Co.) and Ted Hager (Hager Container). Beyond business, a primary focus on customer service, and providing for employees, a major key to success throughout the years revolved around continued community involvement. From little league baseball, the Chamber of Commerce, and many other community organizations, the company became a family business full of adopted members throughout Waco and Central Texas.
Over each of the next 50 weeks EDZP will focus on a community organization chosen by employees and the existing list of annual recipients, with donations of financial support, manpower or both. Since the kick-off, April has been a busy month, with the company and employees showing support in Waco volunteering and sponsoring for CASA’s Crawfish Boil, the American Cancer Society of Dallas and the Susan G. Komen Ozark Race for the Cure in Northwest Arkansas. It’s a strong start, but only the beginning for Englander dZignPak’s 50th Anniversary and the 50 Weeks of Giving campaign.
