History

In 1971,  a twenty-something accountant from Chicago named Jerome Starr scraped together enough money to purchase small plastic bag making company Aargus Poly Bag in Chicago. Familiar with the company as its accountant, he took over a manufacturing plant which contained only three bag converting machines and zero printing or extruding capabilities.

Mr. Starr expanded his bag-making business, doubling his converting capacity and adding a few small extrusion lines almost immediately. But after only one year, a tragic arson-set fire nearly dashed his dreams as quickly as they had begun.

With fierce resolve and determination, Mr. Starr resurrected Aargus and grew the company to a 22-extrusion line, flexographic printing force which it is today.

With the help of his wife, Sherry, and his eldest son, Scott, Mr. Starr has led the family business through three decades of success.
