WWP, a leading provider of cosmetic packaging components, tubes, and full-service turnkey solutions, was recognized as ‘Packaging Supplier of the Year’ by Mary Kay.

The awards were celebrated at Mary Kay’s annual luncheon at its Addison, TX headquarters on June 18.

WWP has been providing Mary Kay with both components and tubes since 2008, and has played key roles in expansive, high-profile projects such as Mary Kay’s TimeWise Miracle Set 3D and TimeWise Foundation.

Nominees for Mary Kay’s annual awards are chosen based on performance, value, flexibility, sustainability solutions and ability to execute successful projects. In addition to traditional KPIs such as best-in-class quality, service and cost, Mary Kay’s team seeks out suppliers that exhibit ‘true partnership’ — and its award winners must receive high marks from a cross-functional group of Mary Kay executives.

Deb Gibbins, chief operations officer, Mary Kay, says, “Innovation, sustainability and partnership are large part of our supply chain success, and WWP holds those as core values. The team consistently displays the ability to deliver quality products on time and with adaptability to meet our business and sustainability goals. We’re proud to name them our Supplier of the Year.”

WWP’s team says its infrastructure was a key factor in the win. The company states, “WWP commits to investing in new product development opportunities and process improvements to help manage projects and high-volume production, leaving little doubt about whether it can handle complex, large-scale projects.” 

Barry Freda, CEO of WWP, adds, “We’re very honored to receive this prestigious award from Mary Kay. We take great pride in the relationship that has been established over the years, and we look forward to continuing to provide the highest quality of designs and innovation.”
