Daniel Rosenbaum, President & CEO, and Jessica McCarthy, Chief Human Resources Officer of NextGen Label Group
Description
In this episode of The Think Factory podcast, Chris Santomasimo visits NextGen Label Group in Syracuse, NY — a 100% employee-owned company making big moves in the world of packaging and labels.
CEO Dan Rosenbaum and HR leader Jessica McCarthy share how NextGen came together from three legacy companies and built something bigger than the sum of its parts. They get into everything from the new 15-color hybrid press that helps customers experiment and scale faster, to their RFID label capabilities, shrink sleeve tech, and even a resealable label that replaces plastic lids and helps products stay fresher, longer.
The conversation also covers how they’ve cut waste, earned sustainability awards, and built systems that allow them to shift work between facilities and keep things running smoothly. And with rising costs and global uncertainties, Dan and Jess share how they’re staying ahead, investing in talent, and keeping the culture strong across all locations. Listen to them as they talk tech, talent, and what it’s like being 100% employee-owned.
