Three Decades of IPMA Support

Dana Anastasia is a respected leader in the pressure-sensitive converting industry with more than 35 years of experience. Founder and former owner of Coast to Coast Label and current owner of Dana Label, Anastasia has supported IPMA for more than 30 years, representing five different companies throughout his career. 

He currently serves as division director for Continental Data Label. Anastasia is also active in youth sports development and leads a regional Bereaved Parents of USA group. In 2020, he was named Champaign County, Illinois, Citizen of the Year after heroically saving a man’s life by pulling him from a burning home following a gas explosion.  

“I am honored and sincerely grateful to IPMA for this recognition,” said Anastasia. “Being recognized by a community of friends and associates is both humbling and motivating. I am thankful for the relationships, wisdom, and grace shared over the years, and for being surrounded by outstanding business thinkers and craftsmen and women. Thank you for this meaningful honor.”  

Honored and Humbled

“I am deeply honored to receive the 2026 Outstanding Contributor Award,” said Troup. “Being recognized among such a diverse and distinguished group of professionals is truly overwhelming. I’m also profoundly humbled to be part of a list of previous winners that includes several titans of the in-plant industry. 

"I’d like to thank the World Bank for valuing impactful development and allowing me the opportunity to dedicate a significant amount of time to IPMA initiatives. A huge thank you as well to the IPMA board, executive director, and staff for the acknowledgement and for navigating the organization through a changing landscape. Most of all, thank you, to the entire in-plant community. It’s your collective effort and dedication that drives IPMA and makes our shared in-plant industry so rewarding.”
