Economic Growth

In 2021-2022, Menasha Corporation continued to navigate the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our employees, our business, and our customers. We met new customer needs that required innovative solutions driven by the pandemic, and we provided the efficiencies and fast turnaround our customers needed for products and services.

As a privately held company, we are able to meet new, short-term demands while maintaining a long-term approach to meeting our objectives. Throughout the past year, we continued to invest in equipment, technologies, and facilities. We expanded product lines and capabilities at many sites. Our growth objectives were supported with activities that include: • Two new injection molding presses at our ORBIS business • Automation capabilities at both businesses. An auto stapler and automated fulfillment lines at two Menasha Packaging sites; and automated decorating and scanning functions at ORBIS sites • Robotic palletizer at a Menasha Packaging location • A cooling water system at an ORBIS site

These investments and more ensure our facilities are operating with the highest efficiency and our services provide value for customers while maintaining economies of scale.

Investing in automatic stapling equipment at one of our plants reduced temporary labor costs by 33% and eliminated ergonomic challenges of using manual staple guns.

Our Menasha Packaging Company opened a new site in Canada in 2022 to serve packing and fulfillment needs for customer Kraft Heinz. Menasha Packaging Company now has six locations in Canada that are fulfillment or converting operations and one “home office.” Our Menasha Packaging Company and our ORBIS Corporation provide packing, fulfillment, and supply chain services either onsite at a customer’s location or near a customer’s facility.
