Kate Morrissey, Sales Manager at Dion Label Printing

 

When it comes internal growth and achievement at Dion Label Printing, Kate Morrissey is the epitome of just that. In her 17-year (and counting) tenure with Dion, Kate has gone from a Customer Service Representative to now hold the title of Sales Manager. When asked what she is most proud of in her career she said, “My growth, and Dion’s growth as a company. When I walked in the front door 17 years ago, I knew nothing about labels or the printing industry. I soaked in as much knowledge as I possibly could and to this day continue to educate myself as much as possible, wherever possible. I could tell that my colleagues were passionate about their work and the feeling was contagious. I find myself continually telling new and existing clients that, ‘I found a home at Dion.’” Dion is so fortunate to have Kate as part of our family.

As Sales Manager, Kate leads the Sales team by providing guidance, training, and mentorship. She also plays a large role in building the sales strategies to increase customer satisfaction and achieve overall sales goals. She is a big advocate for cultivating relationships with prospective new clients as well as actively engaging existing partners. Kate also works closely with the marketing and customer support teams to make sure the customer experience exceeds expectations consistently. Kate says, “my customers are what I love most about my job. It is so rewarding to start a project from a company’s inception and see the vision of their product come to life.”

When Kate is not in the office, on the road visiting partners, or traveling with the marketing team to exhibit at a tradeshow, you can most likely find her volunteering. She is mom of twin 16-year-old Boy Scouts. She and her husband are both very involved with their Scout Troop. They spend many weekends camping together (even in the winter months!) or volunteering in their local community. Kate and her family also spend a lot of time during the summer months at their camper in Vermont.

Now if her volunteering time and work ethic wasn’t enough to make us all swoon, check out these 5 fun facts about Kate that we love:

1. She has a lot of animals! 4 goats, 30 chickens, 2 Dogs and a Mini Dwarf Rabbit to be exact.


2. She played the violin for 11 years.


3. She has a black belt in Jukido-Jujitsu.


4. She is a coffee lover.


5. She and her family have season tickets to their local AHL Hockey team and rarely miss a game.



Kate is a hard worker with her eyes on the prize for the best interest of her customers always. We think she sums it up pretty well when she tells us her personal philosophy is from the late, great Steve Jobs, “The only way to do great work is to love what you do.” We are so grateful to have Kate on our team and cannot wait to see how her next chapter at Dion unfolds.

Designing a label can be an involved process; logos, fonts, layout, material, and finish all must be taken into account. Then there’s the product-specific copy and information to include. It’s easy to get hung up on any or all of these things, but don’t forget to consider the importance of color selection While you may be choosing your colors based on your product or on your own color preference, you always want to make sure your colors are communicating the right thing to potential customers.

As part of Inovar Packaging Group, Dion Label Printing is working to creating a world-class enterprise by building an innovative platform to drive sustainable growth and handle the increasingly complex demands of our diverse range of customers. Over the last several years, our parent company Inovar has acquired new facilities at a quick pace, including, most recently: Cimarron Label in Sioux Falls, SD and Amherst Label in Milford, NH. Acquiring is a major part of Inovar’s strategy to grow the company and better serve our customers and our internal teams, and we are concurrently working to expand our capacity, capabilities, and service offerings in other ways. To that end Inovar has recently moved into a newly renovated headquarters building in Dallas, TX. Located just a short distance from Inovar’s previous facility headquarters, the new location was built to showcase the mission of our brand. At triple the size of the last facility, this brand new building with its huge increase in both office and production space will enable us to provide even more solutions and support to our customers. The new facility is not just larger, however. In order to increase our capacity, capabilities, and offerings, and give our customers the highest quality labels and packaging solutions, we’ve added two new flexographic presses and a new digital press. Our Director of Marketing, Ashley Stewart, states, “the additional capacity, services, and embellishment capabilities will greatly increase our ability to meet all the requirements of even the most demanding brands. The team is thrilled to debut the new facility and showcase our capabilities to our existing and future customers.”  We also have other expansions in the works. An addition of almost 20,000 additional square feet of production and warehousing space will expand Inovar’s Milwaukee, WI, location, Flexo-Graphics, and its presence in the area. We are excited for the opportunities our growth provides us to continue our rise as a premier label and packaging solution provider. Contact us today and let our growth help fuel yours.
