MENASHA CORPORATION 1872
MENASHA CORPORATION 1872
Menasha Corporation today is one of the oldest family controlled companies in America. It originally produced wooden pails, tubs and churns -- hence the company's earliest name: The Paid Factory. Founder Elisha D. Smith eventually shifted the 1,000-member company towards the manufacturing of wood-based paper products in the early 1900s, and changed their name to the more encompassing "Menasha Corporation". Today, the company employs more than 5,000 people and manufacturers packaging, paper and plastic products used around the world.
