Kloninger makes sales
pitch for packager

E. Cecelia "CeCe" Kloninger will coordinate marketing and sales for NM Packaging Etc. Inc., which serves more than 100 retail and industrial clients.

The 15-year-old company, which had been home based, recently moved into offices on Hobron Lane in Waikiki. The company uses a Hong Kong supplier for custom packaging jobs. "The most exciting part of this business, in a time when small businesses are struggling, is that we approach this as a challenge by finding right products for our customers," Kloninger said.

Kloninger most recently was national sales manager for KITV-4, where she worked for five years. She also was a school teacher for 12 years, in New Hampshire and Hawaii, and owned an antique store in Portsmouth, N.H. She earned a bachelor's degree in home economics/education and a master's degree in educational counseling from the University of New Hampshire.
