Line Lead

ABOUT KORPACK

Korpack is a growing, privately held packaging solutions company in the western Chicago suburbs, providing contract packaging, packaging materials, and automation to leading consumer brands. We run food-grade (SQF) production across two facilities and are investing heavily in people, systems, and a new 350,000 sq ft expansion. Two things define how we work: efficiency lines that run to standard, every shift and accuracy work orders, inventory, and shipments that are right the first time in our ERP (Acumatica).
