In his first "Executive Decision" segment of Mad Money Friday night, Jim Cramer spoke with Omar Asali, chairman and CEO of Ranpak Holdings Corp. (PACK) , the packaging supplier Cramer called a stealth way to play the e-commerce revolution.
Asali explained that Ranpak is a leader in eco-friendly packaging. They focus 100% on paper and fiber-based packaging with zero plastics of any kind and support sustainable forestry. In addition to packaging supplies, Ranpak also provides automation systems for e-commerce operations to help them ship more boxes, more efficiently.
Asali added that Ranpak is also focused on innovation. He said nobody likes to see small items packed inside of big, wasteful boxes, which is why they've created customizable packaging. Ranpak also invests in materials science, hoping to one day replace styrofoam, plastics and other non-sustainable materials.
