What makes IP special isn’t the products we make; it’s the people who make them. It’s not uncommon to meet someone at our company who has more than 25, 30 or even 40 years of service. In celebration of our 125th anniversary, we sat down with two of our most tenured team members to capture their experiences and perspectives. 

Ronnie Lettow, a machinist at the Savannah, Ga., mill has 58 years of service and is IP’s most tenured employee. Cynthia Stone, accounting specialist at the Laurens, S.C., Box plant has 52 years of service and is our most tenured female employee. 

Here’s their story.
