History

Seven generations of packaging and supply chain integrity.

With humble beginnings as a wooden pail factory in 1849, Menasha is now one of the oldest and most successful, family-owned manufacturing businesses in the country—mainly due to our willingness to evolve and innovate to meet customer needs.

In the 19th century, barrels and other wooden containers were the dominant means of shipping goods to market. Responding to consumer needs, a small wooden pail factory opened in Menasha, Wisconsin. But after two sets of owners, the company failed to earn a profit.

A packaging revolution was taking place in the early 1900s and Menasha entered the corrugated packaging business. Thus begins the story of Menasha Corporation, which ultimately led to Menasha.
