Glenroy, a privately owned converter based in Menomonee Falls, Wis., has built its reputation on providing flexible packaging that is consistent, reliable and delivered on time. After more than 50 years in business, the company is experiencing rapid growth that is prompting the owners to begin construction on a new, 100,000 sq ft expansion, in addition to five other buildings in an industrial park just outside Milwaukee.
“We are growing at a fast rate where we didn’t want to miss the opportunity, so we had to make the jump,” says Evan Arnold, director of product development and engineering. The converter already operates four extrusion lamina tors, one adhesive laminator, two wide-web flexo presses and a line to make premade pouches. They plan to add more converting equipment presses and laminators as needed.
