Our Story
Humble Beginnings
Founded in 1976 as an entrepreneurial venture, Paramount Global began with a vision of delivering exceptional service to the industrial container market. For nearly five decades, this commitment to excellence has driven our growth and defined our service across industries.
From humble beginnings—selling packaging out of the back of a truck—to becoming a trusted leader in packaging solutions, we have stayed true to the values that inspired our founders from the start.
Partnership is the heart of our company values. For decades, we’ve worked alongside our clients as a trusted partner, investing in the success of their business. These relationships are rooted in trust, reliability, and shared growth.
We believe every project deserves care and attention because strong partnerships create lasting impact—your success is our success.
WE ARE
A multigenerational business rooted in people-first values.
Our Commitment
As a multigenerational business, we bring a personal commitment to everything we do.
What began with Jack Gample and his partner, Danny McLeod, has grown into a multi-million-dollar enterprise led by Jack's son, Jay Gample, who continues to uphold the people-first principles that define Paramount.
The foundation of our values is a shared vision: growing together by investing in our customers' success.
Our Impact
We also take pride in supporting the communities where we live and work. Through our Paramount Global Impact program, we actively engage in initiatives such as tree planting, beach cleanups, donation drives, and team-building activities—encouraging meaningful connections and contributing to a better future.
