Glenroy Inc. Celebrates 50 Years in the Flexible Packaging Industry
Glenroy Inc., a converter and printer of flexible packaging film and stand-up pouches, is proud to commemorate the company's 50-year anniversary this month.
Glenroy Inc. was established in July 1965 in Milwaukee, Wis., by founders Edwin, Ruth and Roy Jablonka. The company was named after Edwin and Ruth's two sons, Glen and Roy. Although Glenroy began with only three employees and a single facility, positive word-of-mouth and a reputation for producing dependable packaging film led to a loyal following of customers and steady growth, the company reports. Today, Glenroy employs over 200 people within four facilities in suburban Milwaukee, and supplies flexible packaging film and stand-up pouches to leading brands in a variety of industries.
Now under the third generation of family ownership, Glenroy is proud to remain a family-owned company. According to Glenroy, its shareholders have continually reinvested in machinery, technology and workforce to provide customers with a wide range of capabilities and top industry talent. For example, in January 2015, Glenroy purchased the pouch converting operations of PF Flexibles, allowing the company to provide customers with some of the most extensive in-house premade pouch converting capabilities in the industry. In September 2015, Glenroy will unveil a new $4 million piece of equipment that will allow the company to provide an expanded range of packaging film laminations.
