Glenroy Inc., a converter and printer of flexible packaging film and stand-up pouches, headquartered in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, is commemorating its 50-year anniversary this month.
Established in July 1965 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, by founders Edwin, Ruth and Roy Jablonka, Glenroy Inc. was named after Edwin and Ruth's two sons, Glen and Roy. Although Glenroy began with only three employees and a single facility, they say that positive word-of-mouth and a reputation for producing dependable packaging film led to a loyal following of customers and steady growth. Today, the company employs more than 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 remains a family-owned company. The company's shareholders have continually reinvested in Glenroy's 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. And 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.
