MEET OUR TEAM

Jim Foster is one of the founders of Global-Pak and leads the company as our President. He received a bachelor’s in marketing and Business Management from Kent State University and has been in Packaging Sales for 27 years. 21 of those years have been spent growing Global-Pak into the international bulk packaging company that it is today. Jim loves business and delivering great customer service to customers. He knows the team has done especially well when a customer sends a thank you note for delivering great service, and our team doesn’t think we did anything out of the ordinary. He believes in treating others the way you would like to be treated, which has been the basis of our service philosophy. Jim excels at his leadership position because he tries to stay even keeled, and it allows him to think through a problem and offer “out of the box” solutions to customers problems. Jim loves visiting customers and seeing their operations, and he spends a lot of his time making sure they’re happy with the products and services. Luckily, he has a very supportive wife and 2 great daughters that have allowed him to be a workaholic. If he does take time off, he likes to spend it traveling and seeing new places – it gives him the chance to relax and recharge. 

Paul grew up in suburban Maryland and attended The University of Maryland. His studies were in Psychology, and he also played on the tennis team. He went on to be an assistant tennis pro at a local country club for several years after college. After that Paul started a residential landscaping company and taught himself how to sell by knocking on doors. He believes that this experience was invaluable to his sales career.

Paul entered the packaging world in the year 2000 and never left. He has enjoyed a long career in the industry, selling mostly bulk bags and paper bags. For Global-Pak Paul currently handles the mid-Atlantic region. He likes working for us mostly because of the “family environment” and he feels that we simply have the best customer service in the industry. As a seasoned professional Paul brings many years of experience to the table, and he would very much like to add your business to a long and diverse list of satisfied companies that work with us.

Today Paul plays golf and enjoys camping with his wife in their spare time. Any outdoor activity sounds good to him.
