NYP Corp. is one of the few remaining wholesale converters of burlap, cotton, and related industrial textiles, in the USA. Originally founded as New Yorker Bag and Burlap by Gerald LaBelle and Nelson Gudema, these two young WWII veterans started their new business with a VA certificate to purchase surplus materials from the government. The hardworking pair found success supplying burlap bags and other textiles packaging materials to wholesale nurseries agricultural packers, industrial companies and a growing number of government agencies. The second generation is now at the helm of NYP Corp. Having grown up in the business, brothers Jerry and Christopher LaBelle bring their knowledge, energy and vision to a company they witnessed their father and his associates build from a meager veterans grant. Their commitment to the success of NYP Corp. and its associates, and the satisfaction of its customers is propelled by the same guiding principal of its founders: “Pride and Integrity” in all business activities.
