Packumen has been different from the start, but always grounded in solutions. One of these strangers had a curious personality and a lot of questions. He also had a disassembled Peloton, loaded in various checked and carry-on baggage using outsized boxes, cushioned with bath towels and month-old used air pillowsThe other happened to have 20+ years of experience in strategic sourcing and supply chain with one of the world’s largest distributors of packaging solutions. And couldn’t resist offering a few helpful pointers.

They start with a curiosity about what people and companies are doing, what makes them unique, and what they want to achieve.  Then they add a sincere desire to solve problems and share knowledge to simply make things work better.
