Stephen Scherger of Graphic Packaging International Elected Chairman of the Paperboard Packaging Council

Springfield, MA -- The Paperboard Packaging Council (PPC) is pleased to announce the election of Stephen R. Scherger, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Graphic Packaging International, as its new Board Chair. Scherger's leadership and commitment to the paperboard packaging industry have been pivotal in driving both innovation and sustainable growth, making him a natural choice to lead PPC during this exciting time of industry transformation. Scherger previously served as PPC's Board Chair in 2012, and his return to the role marks a continuation of his dedicated service to the industry.

Commenting on his role as PPC Board Chair, Scherger said, "Taking on this leadership role with the PPC is both an honor and an exciting opportunity. Under Laura Brodie's leadership as Chair, PPC has gained tremendous momentum, and I look forward to working with our dedicated members to build on this foundation. Together, we'll continue advancing the critical work of our industry: promoting innovation in paperboard packaging, building and retaining high-performing teams, investing in our next generation of leaders, and advancing the circular economy through more renewable, recyclable materials."

Since 2012, Scherger has been an integral part of Graphic Packaging's senior management team, serving as CFO since 2015, with financial leadership over 20 acquisitions. In 2024, Scherger played a key role in introducing Vision 2030, the company's strategic plan, focused on driving innovation across its expansive consumer packaging portfolio and driving sustainability through science-based carbon reduction targets. Throughout his career, he has been a champion for industry and community causes and an avid mentor.

Ben Markens, President of the Paperboard Packaging Council, added, "Steve's experience and leadership are invaluable to the paperboard packaging industry. We are excited to have him back as Board Chair, where his passion and strategic vision will help us navigate the challenges and opportunities ahead. His previous tenure as Chair demonstrated his ability to inspire progress, and we look forward to achieving great things under his guidance."
