Prior to Mat-Pac, Manny Jimenez had previously worked for a distributor in the paper industry. With a vision for exceptional service, quality and value, he knew he could accomplish more through starting his own company. In 1988, Manny started Mat-Pac from a spare bedroom in his home, eager to deliver on his dream of exceptional customer care and competitive pricing in the material packaging industry. In 1990, they moved into their current office space.

Looking for new ways to diversify and grow, Mat-Pac acquired Biltmore Tissue in 1995. Half a decade later, Mat-Pac expanded the sales team and launched the Captiva and Sanibel brands. In 2004, Mat-Pac introduced cornstarch-based green products. A year later, they launched South Seas International, its import division. In 2012, Mat-Pac was awarded “Best Customer of the Year in Green Paper” by Guandong. Last year, in 2016, the company started to grow its product line to include arts and crafts, expanded its exporting services and had a new emphasis on industrial packaging equipment and supplies.

Mat-Pac is currently a member of the National Restaurant Association and the International Sanitary Supply Association.
