Oyambitsa awiri anasintha kuyesa kosalephera kukhala chinthu chodziwika bwino chomwe chinasintha kwambiri ntchito yonyamula katundu.
Ngakhale kuti Howard Fielding wamng'ono anagwira mosamala zomwe abambo ake adapanga m'manja mwake, sankadziwa kuti chotsatira chake chingamupangitse kukhala wojambula. M’dzanja lake ananyamula pulasitiki yokutidwa ndi thovu lodzala ndi mpweya. Poyendetsa zala zake pa kanema woseketsa, sanathe kukana chiyesocho: adayamba kutulutsa thovu - monga momwe dziko lonse lakhala likuchitira kuyambira pamenepo.
Chifukwa chake Fielding, yemwe anali ndi zaka pafupifupi 5 panthawiyo, adakhala munthu woyamba kukulunga pompopompo kuti angosangalala. Kupanga kumeneku kunasintha kwambiri ntchito yotumiza katundu, kunayambitsa zaka zamalonda a pakompyuta, ndiponso kuteteza mabiliyoni a katundu amene amatumizidwa padziko lonse chaka chilichonse.
"Ndimakumbukira ndikuyang'ana zinthu izi ndipo chibadwa changa chinali kuzifinya," adatero Fielding. "Ndinati ndine woyamba kutsegula zotchingira zotchinga, koma ndikutsimikiza kuti izi sizowona. Akuluakulu a kampani ya abambo anga adachita izi kuti atsimikizire kuti zinthu zili bwino. Koma mwina ndinali mwana woyamba."
Iye ananenanso moseka kuti: “Zinali zosangalatsa kwambiri kuzitulukira.
Abambo ake a Fielding, a Alfred, adapanga chotchingira ndi bwenzi lake la bizinesi, katswiri wamankhwala waku Swiss Marc Chavannes. Mu 1957, adayesa kupanga chithunzi chojambulidwa chomwe chingakope "Beat Generation" yatsopano. Anayendetsa zidutswa ziwiri za nsalu yotchinga ya pulasitiki kudzera pa chosindikizira kutentha ndipo poyamba adakhumudwa ndi zotsatira zake: filimu yokhala ndi thovu mkati.
Komabe, oyambitsawo sanakane kotheratu kulephera kwawo. Iwo analandira mavoti oyamba ambiri pa njira ndi zipangizo embossing ndi laminating zipangizo, ndiyeno anayamba kuganizira ntchito zawo: oposa 400 kwenikweni. Mmodzi wa iwo - kusungunula wowonjezera kutentha - adachotsedwa pa bolodi lojambulira, koma adamaliza kukhala wopambana ngati mapepala ojambulidwa. Chogulitsacho chinayesedwa mu wowonjezera kutentha ndipo chinapezeka kuti sichikugwira ntchito.
Kuti apitirize kupanga mankhwala awo osazolowereka, mtundu wa Bubble Wrap, Fielding ndi Chavannes unayambitsa Sealed Air Corp. mu 1960. Chaka chotsatira chinaganiza zochigwiritsa ntchito ngati choyikapo ndipo adapambana. IBM inali itangoyambitsa 1401 (yotchedwa Model T mu makampani apakompyuta) ndipo inkafunika njira yotetezera zipangizo zosalimba panthawi yotumiza. Monga akunena, zina zonse ndi mbiri yakale.
"Ili ndi yankho la IBM pavuto," atero a Chad Stevens, wachiwiri kwa purezidenti waukadaulo ndi uinjiniya wa gulu la Sealed Air. "Iwo atha kutumiza makompyutawo ali otetezeka. Izi zatsegula chitseko kwa mabizinesi ambiri kuti ayambe kugwiritsa ntchito zomata."
Makampani ang'onoang'ono olongedza mwachangu adatengera luso latsopanoli. Kwa iwo, kukulunga buluu ndi godsend. M'mbuyomu, njira yabwino kwambiri yotetezera zinthu panthawi yaulendo inali kuzikulunga m'mapepala opindika. Ndizosokoneza chifukwa inki yochokera m'manyuzipepala akale nthawi zambiri imachotsa katunduyo komanso anthu omwe amagwira nawo ntchito. Komanso, sizimapereka chitetezo chochuluka chotero.
Pamene kukulunga kwa thovu kumakulirakulira, Sealed Air idayamba kukula. Chogulitsacho chinali chosiyana ndi mawonekedwe, kukula, mphamvu ndi makulidwe kuti awonjezere ntchito zosiyanasiyana: thovu zazikulu ndi zazing'ono, mapepala akuluakulu ndi aafupi, mipukutu yayikulu ndi yochepa. Pakadali pano, anthu ochulukirachulukira akupeza chisangalalo chotsegula matumba odzazidwa ndi mpweya (ngakhale Stevens amavomereza kuti "ndiwochepetsera nkhawa").
Komabe, kampaniyo sinapezebe phindu. TJ Dermot Dunphy anakhala CEO mu 1971. Anathandizira kukulitsa malonda a kampani pachaka kuchoka pa $ 5 miliyoni m'chaka chake choyamba kufika pa $ 3 biliyoni pamene adasiya kampaniyo mu 2000.
"Marc Chavannes anali wamasomphenya ndipo Al Fielding anali injiniya woyamba," atero a Dunphy, 86, yemwe amagwirabe ntchito tsiku lililonse pakampani yake yabizinesi ndi kasamalidwe, Kildare Enterprises. Koma palibe amene ankafuna kuyendetsa kampaniyo.
Wochita bizinesi pophunzitsidwa, Dunphy adathandizira Sealed Air kukhazikika magwiridwe antchito ake ndikusinthiratu zinthu zake. Anakulitsanso mtunduwo m'makampani osambira. Zovala zomangira dziwe za Bubble zakhala zotchuka kwambiri m'zaka zaposachedwa. Chivundikirocho chimakhala ndi matumba akuluakulu a mpweya omwe amathandiza kusunga kuwala kwa dzuwa ndikusunga kutentha, kotero kuti madzi a padziwe amakhala otentha popanda kutulutsa mpweya. Kampaniyo pamapeto pake idagulitsa mzerewu.
Mkazi wa Howard Fielding, Barbara Hampton, katswiri wodziwa zambiri za patent, sanachedwe kunena momwe ma patent amalola apongozi ake ndi mnzake kuchita zomwe amachita. Ponseponse, iwo analandira zovomerezeka zisanu ndi chimodzi pa kukulunga kuwira, zomwe zambiri zokhudzana ndi ndondomeko ya embossing ndi laminating pulasitiki, komanso zipangizo zofunika. M'malo mwake, a Marc Chavannes anali atalandira kale ziphaso ziwiri zamakanema a thermoplastic, koma mwina analibe ming'oma yotuluka m'maganizo panthawiyo. "Zovomerezeka zimapereka mwayi kwa anthu opanga kuti apatsidwe mphotho chifukwa cha malingaliro awo," adatero Hampton.
Masiku ano, Sealed Air ndi kampani ya Fortune 500 yomwe ikugulitsa 2017 ya $ 4.5 biliyoni, antchito 15,000 ndikutumikira makasitomala m'mayiko 122. Poyambira ku New Jersey, kampaniyo inasamukira ku likulu lake padziko lonse ku North Carolina ku 2016. Kampaniyo imapanga ndi kugulitsa zinthu zosiyanasiyana, kuphatikizapo Cryovac, pulasitiki yopyapyala yomwe imagwiritsidwa ntchito popanga zakudya ndi zinthu zina. Sealed Air imaperekanso zonyamula zopanda mpweya zonyamula zotsika mtengo kwa makasitomala.
"Ndi mtundu wa inflatable," Stevens adatero. M'malo mokhala ndi mpweya wambiri, timagulitsa mafilimu okulungidwa mwamphamvu ndi makina omwe amawonjezera mpweya ngati pakufunika.
