Russ Freebury
Russ Freebury started Neway Packaging in April of 1977 after previous work experience in the plastic industry. An entrepreneur since childhood, Russ knew that he wanted to one day be his own boss, dictate his own schedule, and create a long lasting, family-oriented, positive work place that was also profitable. From humble beginnings operating out of their small home in Torrance, Russ, with support from his wife, Carole, has expanded Neway to seven locations across the United States. Forty-two years later, Russ continues to play an active role in the running of the company and plans to continue to increase Neway's footprint nationally. He enjoys traveling with his wife, with a particular preference for visiting his children and grandchildren in California and Wisconsin. Being outdoors and active are also a huge part of Russ' persona as he likes boating, skiing, golfing, walking, biking, and playing with the aforementioned grandchildren.
Chris Freebury
Chris is a family man by night and a packaging specialist by day. He has been involved in every aspect of this family run business, owned by his father Russ, since the young age of sixteen. Chris started in the warehouse literally learning this industry from the bottom up. After 25 years at Neway Packaging he’s now Vice President and raising two teenagers with his wife of 16 years, Tracey. Outside of work he’s a devoted club soccer dad traveling all around Southern California for games almost every weekend. Chris sees a demanding future in the packaging world with exponential growth and progress including mass advancement in sustainable packaging options.
Erica Freebury
After graduating with a Bachelor’s in Finance from George Washington University in Washington DC, Erica Freebury began working full-time in the family business as the company’s Controller. Prior to this milestone, Erica would spend her summer breaks, from high school and college, to deeply understand the function of every department within Neway Packaging. Armed with such a vast knowledge of company function and result-driven operations, Erica was integral in implementing and maintaining Neway Packaging’s computer system. Although a native Californian, Erica now resides in Green Bay, Wisconsin, with her husband and beautiful daughter. When Erica is not busy with the family business, she enjoys traveling, tennis, volleyball, walking and spending time with friends and family.

Kim is best known for her stellar work ethics, generosity, and sense of humor!
Carole Schmittauer
My position at Neway Packaging Corp. as Assistant General Manager is probably the most interesting & rewarding that I’ve ever encountered in my career. My many years of corporate experience has effectively prepared me for a fast-paced deadline oriented position here at Neway. There are so many facets of my job such as hiring, payroll, contracts, benefits, facilities, auto, buildings, workers comp. insurance, etc. Neway is a wonderful company to work at, with terrific benefits & amazing people. I’ve always been a people person that’s available 24/7. On a personal note I am blessed to have my mother, a phenomenal daughter, daughter in law, & 3 grandsons who I enjoy & love to travel with.

Kerry Balfour
Kerry grew up in the Pacific Northwest where his future fate in packaging was sealed when his father opened a packaging supply company in 1980. Childhood summers were spent tagging along with his father making sales calls and deliveries. Kerry worked in varied positions from warehouse / driver, to receptionist, purchasing and finally sales. In 2016, Kerry found home as the National Sales Manager with Neway and he sees himself working with Neway until he retires.
