QUOTES
- "In any downturn, there's always an opportunity. So regardless of whether or not these companies were not able to pivot, or they weren't progressive enough, or they were kind of stuck because I think that happens a lot." - Tammera Hollerich
- "So we figured out a way to get a lot more organized to get a lot more, be more efficient, hold people a lot more accountable and responsible, and hold ourselves accountable also for what happens in the factory." - Roy Rodriguez
- “What I like to tell people, if you ever see any kind of paper, any paper that you see anywhere, unless it's like really thick, and we don't even have to get into that, it always starts with a roll. Doesn't matter. It always starts with a roll.” - Roy Rodriguez
