Each year before their general sales meeting, Empire Paper’s leadership meets to discuss vendor representatives who, in the last twelve months, have displayed outstanding performance in their service to Empire Paper and Empire Paper customers.

“In mid-2025, when Empire Paper’s laundry and warewash service manager accepted another position, Jason immediately let Empire Paper’s management know he would be ready and willing to assist in servicing our shared customers,” said David Strange, Vice President of Sales, Empire Paper. “Jason Paschall went above and beyond in his duty, making service calls on Empire’s behalf to our shared customers, when necessary. While Empire Paper worked to fill the void left by our manager, Jason was instrumental in making sure no Empire sales representative or customer was lacking when they needed assistance or service!”

The vendor representative of the year award was announced by Evan Reese, Business Development Manager to Jason Paschall on October 23, 2025 at their 2025 Empire Paper General Sales Meeting Awards Banquet.
