Behind the Brand: Something new is taking shape at Montenegro.

As we prepare to celebrate our 30th anniversary, we're making thoughtful updates that reflect who we are, what we stand for, and where we're headed.

Here's a sneak peek of one of those changes: our conference room now proudly features our new tagline that captures the heart of our business.

Built on Paper. Powered by People.

For nearly 30 years, paper has been our foundation, but it's the people behind every partnership, every project, and every solution that have made our journey possible.

This is just the beginning. Stay tuned. Later this month, we'll officially unveil the next chapter of the Montenegro rebrand in our quarterly newsletter.

A special thank you to ER2 for helping bring our vision to life. We appreciate your partnership and expertise in making this space a reality.

Today, we recognize and celebrate Juneteenth, a day that marks the end of slavery in the United States and honors the resilience, achievements, and contributions of Black Americans throughout our nation's history.

At Montenegro, we believe that stronger communities are built through understanding, respect, and opportunity for all. As we reflect on the significance of this day, we remain committed to fostering an inclusive environment where every voice is valued and empowered to thrive.

June is Employee Wellness Month, and at Montenegro, we're focused on bettering ourselves from the inside out! From our company-wide step challenge to learning more about healthy habits, we're making wellness a priority all month long.

Today's Lunch & Learn with Kim Caputo Jurkowski, RDN of Real Food Nutrition, LLC was exactly the motivation we needed. Kim shared eye-opening insights on Added Sugars, helping us better understand where they hide and how small changes can make a big impact on our overall health.

Thank you, Kim, for an engaging and informative session that inspired us to keep moving, keep learning, and make healthier choices every day!

On Tuesday, we celebrated National Paper Airplane Day the Montenegro Way! 📄✈️

At Montenegro, paper isn’t just what we sell, it’s what inspires us to create, connect, and have a little fun along the way.

To mark National Paper Airplane Day, our team took a break from the usual routine and brought out our most creative folds for an in-house paper airplane contest. From classic designs to imaginative engineering feats, the office quickly transformed into a runway of innovation and friendly competition.

The results? Plenty of laughs, impressive flights, and a great reminder that even something as simple as a sheet of paper can spark creativity, collaboration, and joy.

At the end of the day, it’s moments like these that highlight what makes Montenegro special, a team that values both quality in our work and connection with one another.

Today is National Notebook Day, and while notebooks may seem simple, they continue to play an important role in how we learn, create, organize, and connect ideas.

In a world filled with screens, AI, and constant digital distractions, there’s still something powerful about putting pen to paper.

Notebooks help:
🧠 Improve focus and information retention
💡 Encourage creativity and brainstorming
📚 Support learning in classrooms and workplaces alike
✔️ Keep ideas, goals, and plans organized in a tangible way

At Montenegro, we appreciate the everyday paper products that often go unnoticed but continue to make a meaningful impact in education, business, and daily life.

Sometimes the best ideas still start on paper.

Yesterday, we had the opportunity to celebrate an exciting milestone with our employees, sales representatives, and valued partners as we officially launched the next chapter of Montenegro.

As we approach 30 years in business, this moment was about more than a new logo — it was about honoring the relationships, hard work, and people who have helped shape our journey from the very beginning.

We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who joined us to celebrate where we’ve been and where we’re headed next.

A special thank you to our founders, Ed Enciso and Irma V. Bates, whose vision, determination, and leadership built the foundation of Montenegro nearly three decades ago.

This is only the beginning, and we’re excited to share more in the weeks ahead.

Stay tuned. ✨
