Foxfire Printing and Packaging: Sure Signs of Success

It's not just equipment and business acquisitions that have fueled Foxfire's growth. When Ferretti began acquiring companies, he relied on funding from several venture funds. This necessitated the creation of a board of directors for the privately-held firm. For this he tapped a number of different industries: A retired Sara Lee executive, a human resources maven, and the head of new business development at E.I. DuPont. Two other board members are from the venture funds.
