ORBIS Corporation Names New
Vice President of Finance

November 11, 2009, OCONOMOWOC, Wis. – Mark Gorzek has been named vice president of finance for ORBIS Corporation, succeeding Bill Ash, who was recently named president. Most recently Gorzek was vice president and controller for Menasha Corporation, ORBIS’ parent company.

ORBIS, headquartered in Oconomowoc, Wis., manufactures reusable plastic containers, pallets and dunnage that move product cost-efficiently and safely throughout the supply chain, to take the place of single-use corrugated shipping cartons and limited-use wood pallets. As the leading manufacturer of plastic reusable packaging in North America, ORBIS operates 25 manufacturing, sales and service facilities throughout North America, Europe and Asia to meet the packaging needs of global automotive, beverage, pharmaceutical, food and general industrial companies.

In 2003, Gorzek joined Menasha Corporation, based in Neenah, Wis., as the Director of Financial Reporting. In his corporate roles, he provided financial direction for acquisitions and was responsible for controllership activities, planning and forecasting and internal and external financial reporting.

As vice president of finance, Gorzek will be a member of ORBIS’ cross-functional leadership team, directing the financial functions of the corporation in addition to contributing to the development and attainment of business strategies.

According to Bill Ash, ORBIS Corporation president,  “Mark brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to his new position. He was instrumental in the implementation of many significant initiatives that Menasha Corporation has undergone in recent years. Mark played a significant role in ORBIS’ recent acquisitions of Norseman Plastics and Linpac Material Handling, the two largest acquisitions in the company’s history. He is a proven leader with a strong history of success.”

Gorzek holds bachelor of business administration degree in accounting from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and previously held positions with Honeywell International and PricewaterhouseCoopers.
