🍃🏭 Many students imagine manufacturing as dirty, difficult, or only focused on machines.
But when they get the chance to learn more, that perception can change quickly.

In this video, students from Otsego middle school Ohio share how their view of manufacturing shifted after seeing that it can be clean, organized, collaborative, and full of different roles — from hands-on production to marketing and innovation.

At SmartSolve, we’re proud to help introduce the next generation to a different side of manufacturing: one built on creativity, purpose, and materials designed for a better end of life.

The future of manufacturing depends on helping young people see what’s possible.

We love celebrating the incredible people who make SmartSolve what it is — and this weekend gave us the perfect reason to do just that.

On Saturday, May 16th, our own Jeff Dierker from the Maintenance team took the stage at Howard's Club H right here in Bowling Green, Ohio, performing as the drummer for an unforgettable live show. Watching a colleague shine outside the workplace is a powerful reminder that our team is made up of talented, passionate individuals who bring that same energy to everything they do — including what they do for SmartSolve.

Jeff, thank you for inspiring us. We're lucky to have you on the team. 🎶🥁

At SmartSolve, our culture is built on people who go all in — in the office and beyond. Here's to the moments that bring us together.

This Memorial Day, our CEO Jonathan Jakubowski ran the Run to Remember in Virginia Beach for the third year in a row! 🇺🇸🏃

Such an honor to support this incredible event and the families behind it. Check out the video of Jon with the race director from Run to Remember - VB to hear why this race is so much more than just a run.

Thank you to everyone who came out to honor those who gave the ultimate sacrifice. 🙏

At SmartSolve, innovation begins with a simple question: what happens after a package has served its purpose?

PureNil™0 is a water-soluble packaging material designed to offer brands a forward-thinking alternative for applications where traditional single-use packaging creates unnecessary waste.

This video shows the material interacting with water as it begins to hydrate, separate, and disperse — highlighting the possibilities of designing packaging with a different end of life in mind.

PureNil™0 reflects our commitment to smarter materials, practical innovation, and packaging solutions created for the future.

At SmartSolve, faith and values are an important part of who we are.

We are honored to share this meaningful message from our CEO during his speech at St. Rose Catholic School. His words remind us of the importance of trusting God’s purpose, leading with integrity, and serving others through the work we do every day.

Romans 8:28 is a powerful reminder that God can work through every season, every challenge, and every opportunity for good.

As a company, we are grateful to be guided by faith, stewardship, and a commitment to making a positive impact on people and the world around us.

For SmartSolve's Q1 2026 Culture Day, our team came together to talk through company goals, share ideas, and discuss solutions to the challenges ahead. 🎯💡

After a morning of thoughtful conversations and collaboration, we enjoyed lunch together at a local Mexican restaurant 🌮 and wrapped up the day with some fun at the bowling alley. 🎳😄

Culture is built through moments like these — when people come together, listen, laugh, problem-solve, and grow as one team. 🤝❤️
We're grateful for the people behind SmartSolve and excited for what we're building together. 🙌✨

What an incredible morning yesterday at the 27th Annual NWO Prayer Breakfast! 🙏 So great to see local businesses come together for connection and prayer.

Keynote speaker Frank Harrison III — fourth-generation leader of Coca-Cola Consolidated — left us with one powerful question: What is your legacy? His commitment to building a culture of servant leaders whose values honor God was truly inspiring.

Purpose is powerful. At SmartSolve, we're proud to have Christ at the center of ours. ✝️

We’ve been designing packaging the same way for decades…
Use it → throw it away → repeat.

But what if that model is broken?

The future belongs to brands that rethink packaging from the start — not the end.

🌱 Less waste
🌎 More responsibility
🚀 Better business

Packaging that can’t demonstrate real recovery in real-world infrastructure is going to cost producers more — or, in some cases, get pulled from the shelf.
