Case Study: International Paper achieves 24/7 employee engagement and improved safety with The Marlin Company

International Paper - Customer Case Study

International Paper’s Sumter, SC paper-sheeting facility — a 24/7 operation with 12‑hour shifts and a 28‑day rotation covering 112 hourly employees — needed a reliable, ongoing way to deliver consistent, attention‑grabbing safety, quality and production messages to every worker regardless of shift, without relying on email or temporary programs.

The Marlin Company’s Electronic Communication Station (“The Cutting Edge”) digital signage, managed via a cloud CMS and stocked with Marlin content, provided that solution. The boards support BBS and 5S initiatives, showcase employee recognition and milestones (including a two‑year no lost‑work‑day milestone), display day/night messaging and counters, and add news/weather to drive regular attention — resulting in continuous 24/7 communication, stronger safety engagement and a more connected workplace.
