Letter From The CEO

          Capping two decades of solid growth, Colonial Paper Co, Inc. will be celebrating its 25th Anniversary on February 14, 2002. After finishing a record year in the 1991/2000 sales year, CPC has positioned itself to become the largest privately held Supply Company, with services unmatched by anyone in the state of Florida!

          CPC has always prided itself on our highly trained personnel. From the warehouse foreman to the Board of Directors, we have all applied ourselves to our on-going training programs in both the technical aspects as well as personal development training. Our internal programs center on four initiatives.

          1. Cost of quality
          2. Organizational design
          3. Purchasing
          4. High performance work systems

          We are convinced that cost-of-quality savings, procuring and delivering First Class, Quality products 100% of the time is the most powerful way to improve quality, increase productivity, and response time to our Customers.......Period!

          As CPC has grown, we have created greater efficiencies than our Competition! Our newly constructed 100,000 square foot facility is still the most state-of-the-art facility found in the Southeast. Racking 10,000 pallets in a damage-free environment is still unheard of in our industry. Our modern, employee driven truck fleet accomplishes the impossible (by everyone else's standards) daily. ALWAYS ON TIME-WITH COMPLETE ORDERS!

         CPC boasts a 100% guarantee on the products we deliver. And since its inception nearly two years ago, has not refunded one order. We only employ professional sales personnel who know what they are talking about. CPC spends countless thousands on training every year. We can only provide you with knowledgeable professionals and quality products. It's not rocket science....and best of all, we truly have fun helping our Customers and stretching the envelope of Customer Service! If we can't help you succeed, CPC will fail...........and that just won't happen!

          Thank You for considering CPC as your supply source, but I forgot to mention the most important aspect of conducting business with CPC......no unnecessary levels of management. If you experience a problem, please call on me directly anytime.....and watch the response! I truly want your business, and deeply value business relationships. I am confident my staff will respond to your highest standards of professional attributes.

Sincerely Yours,

David A. Tuck
