With a passion for innovation and a dream for a better life for his family, Louis R. Muskat (L.R.), founded Triangle Packaging Co. on May 1, 1923. Now in its 100th year of business and under its third generation of Muskat leadership, L.R.’s legacy continues on.
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, N.Y., Louis felt like a successful life was truly in the Midwest, and specifically, Chicago. One hundred years later, his belief holds true, and Illinois ranks 4th in the U.S. for manufacturing jobs.
