  Danny Temkin moved to the United States from Israel in 1976, eager to take advantage of all the opportunities he saw around him. From a small corner of Los Angeles' Fresh Flower Market, Danny started selling orders of polypropylene, a cost effective alternative to expensive cellophane packaging. In 1993 he moved his headquarters from California to Utah. In recognition of his achievements, Danny was named Utah's Entrepreneur of the Year in 2006. From one man filling orders in a cramped corner of the Flower Market, to over 500 employees spread over 455,000 square feet of business space in three countries, Danny's dream has become an undeniable reality.
