Speaker: Ed Sullivan

Over 80 years ago, George and Elizabeth Sullivan had a dream; to supply the country with beautiful, ethically produced gift wrap paper. As the country limped out of the Great Depression at the end of the 30s, the Sullivans moved forward with their dream of owning and operating their own business.

In 1940 they started with little and created enormous success for the company, customers, and the local community of Western Massachusetts. Hard-work, creativity, and an aptitude to be able to change with the times has earned Sullivan Paper Company a reputation as one of the elite paper converters globally.

Ed Sullivan – third-generation – now serves as COO of Sullivan Paper and has helped shepherd the company into the modern era. Ed also served as Mayor of West Springfield, where his business ethos helped bring success to his city and beyond.
