Colbert Packaging Relocates HQ From Illinois To Kenosha, Wisconsin Colbert Packaging Corporation, a paperboard packaging manufacturer serving the pharmaceutical and consum- er goods industries, has announced the relocation of its corporate offices to Kenosha, Wisconsin. This move is in alignment with Colbert’s strategic plan to streamline oper- ations and position itself for growth. “Over the past few years, investments in new, more ef- ficient equipment paved the way toward consolidating our flagship Lake Forest manufacturing operations into our Elkhart, Indiana and Kenosha, Wisconsin plants,” says Col- bert Packaging President and COO, John Lackner. “After that, it just made sense for home office operations to relo- cate. Now, with greater proximity to our Kenosha manufac- turing operations, we’re more streamlined, plus the Keno- sha location has ample room to build out as we grow.”
The new home office includes a “Memory Garden” ded- icated in memory of past employees. As a family-owned business, the decision to “relocate” the Lake Forest mem- ory garden was a priority for CEO and founding daughter, Nancy McDougall. “We wouldn’t be here today without so many individuals who put their hearts and souls into each day’s work,” she said. “It’s important to recognize and re- member their contributions to Colbert’s success.” In response to escalating customer demand, equip- ment acquisitions have increased manufacturing capacity in both locations (Kenosha and Elkhart), along with quality assurance. Colbert recently announced having 100 per- cent vision inspection capabilities, enabling defect de- tection without affecting the production run, an important distinction for pharmaceutical and consumer paperboard packaging customers. Colbert Packaging Corporation is a family-owned busi- ness with extensive R&D capabilities and a solid reputa- tion for excellence. Founded in 1959, Colbert Packaging has grown its repertoire of paperboard packaging solu- tions into one of the most comprehensive, diverse and in- ventive portfolios in the industry.
