“We really need this expansion,” said Jack Trostle, Pittsburg Plant Manager. “Right now, we are maxed out as far as what we can do. Our employees are working at full capacity to provide superior cus- tomer service and a world-class product. Expanding is the only logical conclusion as we look at the po- tential of the current manufacturing platform.” Kendall Packaging provides custom packaging solu- tions for a broad cross section of private label compa- nies and specializes in products in the baked goods, cheese, confectionary, dry foods, frozen foods, meats, pasta, personal care, pet food and snack food markets. The company was launched in Milwaukee,Wiscon- sin, in 1948 by Lowell Kendall who began as a con- tract packager. In 1970, Eric G. Erickson acquired Kendall; the company also began its first foray into printing flexible packaging that same year. The company acquired the Pittsburg, Kansas, facili- ty in 1987, and five years later moved its Milwaukee facility to a larger building in Jefferson,Wisconsin. In 2005, the Jefferson location installed a 52-inch, 10- color Novoflex press fromWindmoeller and Hoelsch- er. A 52-inch, 10-color W&H Primaf lex press was installed in the Pittsburg facility in 2009, and two years later a 52-inch, 10-color W&H Miraflex was in- stalled in the Jefferson facility. Kendall plans to take occupancy of the new Pitts- burg building in July of 2017, and the company said all equipment and new employees should be in place and operational by September 2017.
