Former SIG Combibloc Executive Bolsters
Company’s Management Team
In a move formalizing which has already largely become the case,
International Dispensing Corporation (IDC) (IDND) has promoted Tom
Shaver to Chief Operating Officer. For the past 10 months, Mr.
Shaver has served on the company’s board of directors and has been
intimately involved in the company’s marketing and business
development activities. During that period, working side by side
with IDC’s CEO Greg Abbott, Mr. Shaver has helped the company
deepen its bonds with strategic partners, strengthen its
manufacturing processes, form a world-class industry advisory
board, launch its new website, and establish ongoing sales
initiatives around the world.
A highly accomplished sales and marketing executive, Mr. Shaver
spent seven years (2003-2010) at SIG Combibloc, one of the world’s
leading system suppliers of aseptic carton packaging and filling
machines for beverages and food, with worldwide revenues of $1.9
billion. As Vice President of Marketing for North and Central
America, Mr. Shaver developed the strategic roadmap that produced
record sales for North America. He was directly responsible for all
SIG Combibloc global account management sales activities for Coca
Cola and PepsiCo, and executed multi-million dollar equipment and
packaging contracts for Unilever and Campbell’s Soup. Prior to
working for SIG Combibloc, Mr. Shaver held managerial and business
development positions at Red Bull, Vitality Foodservice, Dannon
Yogurt, and Tone’s Spices. Mr. Shaver, 46, received a B.A. degree
from the University of Florida and an MBA from the University of
Tampa.
“It has been a sincere pleasure working with Tom and he has
earned my utmost confidence and trust,” said Greg Abbott, IDC’s
Chairman and CEO. “Besides bringing positive energy and keen focus
to every task at hand, Tom has proven to be a superb leader,
strategist, and problem solver. His experience in marketing and
aseptic manufacturing coupled with his wisdom, character, and
people skills are among the reasons IDC has made so many strides in
recent months and why our future looks so bright. Tom is the
complementary industry person I have been waiting for, and I am
delighted that he is now representing the company as COO.”
“We have accomplished a number of important things, paving the
way for what I believe will be stellar success in the near future,”
said Mr. Shaver. “Not only are IDC’s innovations big and
game-changing, but the management team, advisory board, strategic
partners, and global customer base we have lined up are why I
believe so much in what we are doing and why I am excited to make
IDC a full-time commitment.”
