Industry veteran Harry Voss receives a lifetime achievement award.

The Foil & Specialty Effects Association has named Harry Voss, the retired president and CEO of Diamond Packaging, Rochester, NY, as the recipient of its 2012 Lifetime Achievement Award. The prestigious award recognizes Voss for his commitment and contributions to the growth of foil stamping, embossing and other specialty processes within the packaging industry; for his leading role in creating the Global Packaging Alliance; and for his strong belief in corporate citizenship and community involvement—helping to bridge the gap between education and the “real world” through internship and co-op programs. Diamond Packaging celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2011, and for 42 of those years, according to a statement from Diamond, Voss was the force propelling the company forward.
