Please join us in congratulating Samantha Farley on her promotion to Assistant Plant Manager at Cumberland Container.

Samantha's story is one we're especially proud of. She's a Monterey native who joined our team almost 17 years ago in general labor, hand-labeling boxes on the floor. Her father worked at Cumberland Container for 15 years before her, and the two even worked alongside each other for a stretch, so in a lot of ways, this plant has been part of her family's story for a long time.
Through nearly two decades of hard work, consistency, and a genuine willingness to grow, Samantha has earned her way into plant leadership.

She now holds two distinctions in our company's history: she's both the youngest and the first woman to serve as Assistant Plant Manager at Cumberland Container. She leads and organizes our monthly safety meetings, as well as, collects the safety audits for each machines and posts them in the plant, these are only a few highlights among all the hats she wears.

Samantha has earned the respect of the entire Cumberland workforce including those who have been here for 30+ years, along with the Ownership, whom have complete confidence in her. She acts and thinks strategically and understands the importance of training and developing the workforce. Today, she's in the plant by 4 AM, making sure everyone and everything on the platform runs smoothly, safely, and efficiently.

We're grateful for leaders like Samantha, who show what's possible when you invest in your people for the long haul.
Congratulations, Samantha, this one is well earned.

Exciting developments continue with our Cold Corr project as we prepare for the machine's arrival.

Today, our team poured the foundation that will support it, right after clearing the space and running new electrical service and water lines to get the building ready. It's the kind of work that doesn't show up in a headline, but it's the groundwork (literally) for everything that comes next.

This project represents a significant step forward for Cumberland Container, and we're excited to keep bringing you along as it takes shape. More to come soon.
