Accredo Packaging<\/a>, a leader in the development of sustainable flexible packaging solutions, has been officially certified as a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) by the Southwest Minority Supplier Development Council (SMSDC) and recertified by the Houston Minority Supplier Development Council (HMSDC). This dual recognition affirms the company\u2019s minority ownership and its long-standing commitment to inclusive and responsible business practices.<\/p>\n Certification by HMSDC and SMSDC strengthens Accredo\u2019s alignment with companies that prioritize supplier diversity, while increasing visibility to procurement professionals from major consumer brands committed to building inclusive supply chains.<\/p>\n This recognition is rooted in a story that began nearly four decades ago, when Accredo\u2019s founding family, originally immigrants from Southeast Asia, launched a small manufacturing business in New Orleans. That business, Advance Polybag Inc., grew steadily through hard work, reinvestment, and a commitment to excellence.<\/p>\n In 2009, the family expanded into the flexible packaging sector with the formation of Accredo Packaging in Sugar Land, Texas. Today, Accredo remains family-owned and minority-led, with a multi-generational leadership team and a deep focus on sustainability<\/a>, innovation, and operational agility. From its LEED Silver-certified facility powered entirely by wind generated electrical energy, to its breakthrough development of recyclable and bio-based pouch alternatives, the company exemplifies how inclusion and innovation go hand in hand.<\/p>\n \u201cCertification by the HMSDC and SMSDC is a powerful step forward in our ability to serve customers that value performance, sustainability, and supplier diversity,\u201d said Roberto Santos, Vice President of Marketing at Accredo Packaging. \u201cIt enhances our visibility with major brands, gives us access to exclusive opportunities, and validates our track record as a high-performing, minority-owned business.\u201d<\/p>\n
