Weber Packaging celebrates 90th anniversary

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS - Weber Packaging Solutions, a global company now in its third generation of ownership, is celebrating its milestone 90th anniversary.

Originally founded in 1932 as Weber Addressing Machine Co. by Joseph Weber Sr. in Chicago, the business introduced its first hand printer, the Tag-O-Graph, for directly marking cartons. By the 1940s, Weber introduced an Address Machine that allowed for direct, mechanical printing on envelopes and changed its name to Weber Marking Systems.

Every decade since, Weber has made significant technological advances in labeling and printing, moving from manual to automated, digital solutions. In line with these advances, Weber changed its name to Weber Packaging Solutions in 2011.

Today, the company is still family-owned and operated. Since Joseph Weber Jr. retired from daily operations, his son, Doug Weber, has served as president and CEO.

"Weber's legacy has been built on the solid foundation that my grandfather laid 90 years ago, and to see it flourish has been nothing short of incredible," Doug Weber said.

Based in Arlington Heights, Weber Packaging has sales offices and service locations throughout the United States, as well as operations in Canada, Mexico, Australia, Europe and Asia.
