The Realization of the Company’s Founder, Marvin Makofsky.
Armed with savvy business acumen, The Company's founder has introduced innumerable innovations to their clients since 1972. The indomitable idea guy, Marvin Makofsky scanned the industry for his next breakthrough, the one that would ultimately deliver an unparalleled solution. He set his sights on one of the most basic of all business products, the envelope. And unlike previous innovations, the company patented its ideas and completely changed its business model.
Change Afoot
In an industry fraught with a “Same old, same old” mentality, Makofsky applied his creativity and industry know how to re-designing the way the industry looks at envelopes.
What the Company created is based on a simple concept; designing an envelope that uses no more material than is absolutely necessary. By accomplishing this task, they have reduced materials cost, reduce weight which in turn reduces postage. Conformer Expansion Products has accomplished this using the same manufacturing equipment that has been around for decades..
“What is different is that we started with very little knowledge of the envelope market. From that prospective, we had no idea what could and could not be done. By creating something entirely new from the ground up, we accomplished something amazing. The end result of what we have created is the most versatile, efficient envelope ever created”, says Marvin Makofsky
Equipped with powerful structural patents, Conformer Expansion Products incorporated in 2003. Determined to be a catalyst for change, the Company's founders have brought value and new levels of efficiencies to their clients. The Company's award winning products have been credited as among the biggest office product breakthroughs in decades. Conformer Expansion Products has “pushed the envelope” to do things that few people would have thought possible.
