What Clients Are Saying

“American Green has played a key role in our FSC certification. The annual cost of the group certificate is much more reasonable for a company our size.”

Copy Print Shop, Inc., dba The National Group

“American Green Consulting not only made the certification process easier, they’ve been extremely helpful with providing follow-up guidance and information.”

Audrey Haworth, Toysmith

“AGC has really helped us transition into being FSC certified. They have been helpful with any questions we have had and they have supplied all the information our company needed to successfully integrate our green initiative through FSC certification.”

Jerry Gaul, The Irving Press

“The whole team is great, and working with Taylor (Bucci) is always a pleasure. He is extremely helpful and very professional.”

Katie Hernandez, Dorado Music Packaging

“Jess (Gillen) is a true asset to the AGC team. She’s always willing to go the extra mile to walk me through whatever problem I may be having.”

Stacy MacAllister, Snyder Printer, Inc.

“AGC takes the hassle-factor out of managing an FSC certificate. They provide us with the steps and support to go through certification successfully.”

Gary Cone, Litho Craft
“Jess (Gillen) has been able to process our label approvals quickly and if there is a question or change needed, she lets us know right away and directs us to what needs adjusting. Our scheduling and production schedule runs smoothly because of Jess’ responsiveness.”
Jerry Gaul, The Irving Press

“If it wasn’t for Chris and Jess [at American Green Consulting], it would be much more difficult to manage FSC Certification, especially the ins and outs of trademark requirements.”

Jessica Trombley, Front Range Timber

“American Green Consulting has made our life 85 percent better. They’re there to help, and they offer a better price and overall better service.”

Alice Upshaw, JMJ Caseworks

“We passed our audit with zero deficiencies, and our auditor said it was clear that American Green did good work for us, and I agree! Thanks for all your help! We couldn’t have done it without you!”

Shawn Sylvester, LL Flex

“Our auditor had some recommendations, but I don’t think there were any CARs (corrective action requests). Would be the first time ever. We could not do this without AGC’s support!”

I want to share my sincere thanks for Dennis’ support and guidance in preparing for our FSC/SFI/PEFC audit — and, of course, for participating in the audit on our behalf. Our success this year is also a testament to the support he provided last year. We are clearly working from a solid foundation!

Dan Noworatzky, Appvion
