With a passion for innovation and a dream for a better life for his family, Louis R. Muskat (L.R.), founded Triangle Packaging Company on May 1, 1923. Now in its 100th year of business and under its third generation of Muskat leadership, L.R.’s legacy thrives.
While his employer at the time decided the Midwest was not a desirable location for manufacturing, L.R. had a different vision. When the company moved to Buffalo, Louis felt like a successful life was truly in the Midwest, and specifically, Chicago. 100 years later, his belief holds true, and Illinois ranks fourth in the U.S. for manufacturing jobs.
