<strong>The</strong> company continues to enhance its<br />
current product line, meeting the dem<strong>and</strong>s<br />
<strong>of</strong> today’s marketplace.<br />
James, Sr., also began one <strong>of</strong> the most<br />
difficult processes for an entrepreneur—the<br />
transition <strong>of</strong> leadership. <strong>The</strong> first generation<br />
Doherty became CEO <strong>and</strong> named his son,<br />
James R. Doherty, III, president <strong>of</strong> Weber<br />
Display & Packaging, supported by vice<br />
presidents Robert Doherty <strong>and</strong> James<br />
Zambon. With the addition <strong>of</strong> Robert’s son,<br />
Kevin, <strong>and</strong> Zambon’s son, J. Ryan, Weber<br />
Display & Packaging is now a third generation<br />
family-owned business.<br />
Weber Display & Packaging is a dedicated<br />
community partner, supporting the Richmond<br />
Corridor Association, Marine Corp’s Toys for<br />
Tots, Boy Scouts <strong>of</strong> America’s Scouting for<br />
Food, <strong>and</strong> Philabundance, among countless<br />
other charities. Annually, employees forego<br />
a traditional Christmas gift exchange <strong>and</strong><br />
instead donate to a rotating group <strong>of</strong><br />
charities. Employees <strong>and</strong> their families also<br />
benefit from the James R. Doherty, Jr.<br />
Memorial Education Award to continue<br />
their education.<br />
On August 14, 2013, James R. Doherty, Jr.,<br />
passed away at seventy-six, leaving behind a<br />
legacy <strong>of</strong> hard work, dedication, corporate<br />
<strong>and</strong> personal integrity, pr<strong>of</strong>essional prowess,<br />
<strong>and</strong> a labor <strong>of</strong> love for the business—values<br />
that second <strong>and</strong> third generation family<br />
management <strong>and</strong> Weber employees maintain<br />
today. Weber Display & Packaging continues<br />
this tradition <strong>of</strong> excellence, from its humble<br />
<strong>and</strong> historical beginnings to a family <strong>of</strong> more<br />
than 150 employees.<br />
