President
After entering the packaging business with Continental Can Company in 1971, Gene transitioned to Continental White Cap as Director of Licensing and Business Development in 1981. With White Cap, he gained complete knowledge of metal closures and machinery for closure application.
Seeking to enhance the supplier-customer relationship model, Gene formed Bannex International, Inc. in 1989 with his partner James Brannan. Bannex became a global supplier of metal closures and capping machines, partnering first with CarnaudMetalBox and later with Massilly France.
Gene took full ownership of Bannex in 1996. The company expanded into glass container supply in 2003 by partnering with VMC France, which since has merged with BSN, and more recently has been acquired by O-I Europe.
Today Bannex is a leader in the Americas for the supply of Metal and Plastic Closures, Glass Containers, and Machinery, Parts & Services. Bannex’s vision is to enable our customers to operate their companies without worry or concern for their continuous, high-quality packaging needs.
