Headquartered in Chattanooga, TN, NPG provides a broad range of display products and services to many of the world’s retailers. NPG employs approximately 400 co-workers and operates two manufacturing facilities in Chattanooga and one in Las Vegas.

NPG, known for their commitment to quality, creativity, and customer satisfaction, will operate as RockTenn Retail Solutions. Phil Harris, formerly chief executive officer of NPG, has been named vice president and general manager, RockTenn Retail Solutions. Harris will continue to manage the operations along with his current leadership team.
