Colbert Packaging Corporation, a leading manufacturer of folding cartons, rigid setup boxes and paperboard specialty products, has announced definitive plans to move its flexographic packaging operation and related warehousing services to Kenosha, Wisc. Colbert has committed to purchasing the property at 9949 58th Place, a brand new 173,000 sq. ft. building with 18 loading docks sitting on 16 acres of land. It is part of an industrial business park located just over the Wisconsin border and less than a mile from I-94. The building interior is currently being customized to Colbert’s manufacturing floor and office space specifications.

Colbert’s new property was the site of an event hosted yesterday by the Office of the Governor. Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker joined several local elected officials, including Kenosha Mayor John Antaramian and Kenosha County Executive Jim Kreuser, in welcoming Colbert to the area.
