In the Beginning - 1984 Conpac Group, Inc. was formed in 1984 by two entrepreneurs wanting to merge their companies together as a means to partner their efforts going forward. The name stems from the products for which the company was founded to provide: CONtainers and PACkaging. Incorporated in 1984 by Joseph LoSavio (Metropolitan Container Packaging Group), the merger never took place, and the company remained a "shell" corporation. Inevitable Change - 1993 President and sole stock holder today, Don Esbjornson, was a supplier (representing Sealed Air Corporation) to Metropolitan Container, and was asked to join the company as an employee. Negotiations flowered into a partnership, and Conpac Group, Inc. was chosen as the new corporate identity. In 1996, Don became the sole owner after an amicable buyout of the company assets. Recognizing Opportunity - 2010 The World Wide Web and e-Commerce wasn't entirely new, but understanding the complex requirements for building a platform, investing in the marketing, and delivering a quality product, on-time, every time and competitively priced was our goal. Conpac Group launched our first fully-independent site in October 2010. Brick and Mortar is still important - 2016 In January of 2016, Conpac Group moved to its current headquarters at 554 Territorial Drive, Bolingbrook, IL. In February of 2018, the company added over 11,000 square feet of additional warehouse space, bringing the total square footage to 31,000 square feet. Re-Branding our company - 2020 The transition to Packaging Hero and launch of the www.packaginghero.com site begins.
