International PaperBox, a Salt Lake City-based manufacturer of custom folding cartons and paper packaging, has appointed Tim Schultz as Director of Growth and Partnerships, a newly created leadership role reporting directly to General Manager Jim Caro.

The position reflects International PaperBox’s continued investment in a forward-looking growth strategy—expanding its capabilities, pursuing new market opportunities, and strengthening its presence with brands and product companies across the United States.

In his role, Schultz will lead business development efforts while helping build on the trusted relationships International PaperBox has established with its customers. His focus is not simply on selling packaging, but on understanding each customer’s needs, identifying the right solution, and serving as a reliable, knowledgeable partner from initial conversation through delivery.

Schultz brings experience in sales, account management, client relations, and manufacturing. He was drawn to International PaperBox by the caliber of its capabilities, the expertise of its team, and the company’s hands-on approach to helping customers succeed.

“What stood out to me about International PaperBox was its capabilities, its people, and the level of dedication the team brings to every customer,” said Schultz. “I’m excited to join a company that takes customer service seriously and works to be a true partner—not simply a supplier. My goal is to understand each customer’s needs, help them find the right answers, and support them throughout their packaging journey.”

Schultz’s approach to sales centers on trust, personal relationships, and purposeful conversations. He believes the strongest customer partnerships begin with listening—before discussing a product or a quote—and following through with the expertise and responsiveness customers need to move their products forward. Drawing on his manufacturing background and broad network of industry relationships, Schultz will pursue opportunities across a range of markets while helping customers navigate their packaging needs with confidence.

“Tim brings the kind of initiative, market awareness, and relationship-building ability we need as International PaperBox enters its next phase of growth,” said Caro. “He is highly self-directed, focused on opening new opportunities, and equally committed to earning the trust of the customers he serves. As we continue to invest in equipment, capabilities, and new customer opportunities, Tim will play an important role in expanding our market presence and taking International PaperBox to the next level.”

Schultz and his wife are raising their two sons, ages seven and nine, in the Salt Lake City area. Originally from California, he has called Utah home since 2019 and enjoys the outdoor recreation and family-centered lifestyle the state has to offer.
