All of the Associates that I have met had a strong background in packaging prior to working at Baer. Their familiarity with the paper, board, film, plastic, resin markets and packaging converters inspires confidence in their capabilities and recommendations. They do an excellent job of managing our business. They balance the needs of the customer fairly with the requirements of their principals. Our Baer rep fully understands our business and culture and does a terrific job onboarding us with his principals. This enables us to build open and mutually beneficial relationships with our vendors.”

“When a new application for packaging or packaging equipment arises I feel confident in calling on them for recommendations. Because of the wide scope of principals they represent, a response usually comes quickly. If they do not have an immediate answer they will research it and respond promptly with their recommendations. I am very pleased with the partnership we have developed with Baer & Associates, and would recommend them highly for any packaging application.”

“The strength of Weidenhammer’s emergence into the bulk ice cream packaging market is a testament to the collaborative effort with Baer & Associates. As Weidenhammer developed what has become the industry preferred packaging material and machinery solution, it acknowledged it did not have the connection to the market needed for true success. Baer & Associates’ deep customer relationships and credibility in the market laid the foundation for a long, mutually profitable partnership. The exceptional pace of acceptance by the customer base of Weidenhammer’s product line is a testament to the leadership and teamwork of our respective organizations.”
