Beneco Packaging was proud to participate in and sponsor the recent NMA Fireside Chat & Lunch, hosted by the Northumberland Manufacturers’ Association as part of its Advocate. Network. Educate. initiative.
The event brought together manufacturers and business leaders from across the region to discuss current industry challenges, opportunities, and the evolving outlook for manufacturing in Canada.
Beneco Represented on Stage
We were proud to see Jim Wickware, Sales Director at Beneco Packaging, take the stage to share his perspective alongside fellow industry leaders during the fireside discussion.
Representing Beneco at the event, Jim contributed to conversations focused on today’s manufacturing environment, including evolving Canada–U.S. trade dynamics, supply chain considerations, and what businesses can expect moving forward.
Joining the event was Ms. Yajun (YJ) Jiang, Founder & CEO of Beneco Packaging, who participated in the discussion and connected with fellow manufacturing leaders throughout the event.
Supporting Conversations That Move Manufacturing Forward
At Beneco, we believe that strong industries are built through collaboration, shared ideas, and open conversations.
The NMA Fireside Chat created a valuable opportunity for manufacturers to connect, exchange perspectives, and discuss the realities shaping Canadian manufacturing today — from cross-border trade to operational challenges and economic uncertainty.
As a Canadian packaging manufacturer, Beneco values opportunities to stay engaged with the broader manufacturing community and contribute to conversations that help strengthen the industry.

Committed to Community and Industry Leadership
Beneco was proud to support this event as a sponsor and be part of a meaningful discussion alongside industry peers.
Events like the NMA Fireside Chat remind us of the importance of staying connected, continuing to learn, and supporting the growth of manufacturing in Ontario and across Canada.
We thank the Northumberland Manufacturers’ Association (NMA) for organizing another insightful event and look forward to continuing the conversation.
