Sheboygan Paper Box Company Celebrates a Century

WHBL — A Sheboygan Company is celebrating a century of success in business.

Sheboygan Paper Box Company, family-owned and operated by second-generation brothers Jack and Tom Liebl, was founded on November 28, 1923 as an independent folding carton converter.  A social media posting by family members said that “Although folding cartons are made a lot different today than in 1923, our mission is the same—to provide our clients with the best-quality packaging possible, with a focus on customer service and responsiveness.”

100 years later, Sheboygan Paper Box said that its slogan “Innovation Since 1923” captures the blend of modern, state-of-the-art technology with the traditional, caring culture of a long time, family-owned enterprise.

Sheboygan Paper Box is celebrating its 100th anniversary as a successful, family-run, independent folding carton converter. What a tremendous milestone for Sheboygan Paper Box Company. Congratulations on 100 Years!

WHBL — Funding from the federal government will send nearly $300,000 towards improvements at the Sheboygan County Memorial Airport.  US Senator Tammy Baldwin announced the award on Friday as part of the Federal Aviation Administration Airport Improvement Grants, a program funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.  The grants, totaling over $38 million statewide, are intended to go towards improvements in runways, taxiways, safety and sustainability projucts, terminal upgrades, airport-transit connections, and roadway projects.  The share granted to the Sheboygan County Memorial Airport amounts to $294,000.

Upon announcing the award, Senator Baldwin stated that: “Our Wisconsin airports are vital to our economy and way of life, connecting our communities, empowering tourism, and driving our local economies.”  She further said that she was thrilled to deliver the funding, as “Aging infrastructure can cause delays, jeopardize passenger safety, and negatively impact our economy….These resources will help our airports across the state increase efficiency, improve safety, and ensure our airports can welcome new passengers for years to come.”

Sheboygan County Memorial Airport will receive $294,000 from the Federal Aviation Administration Airport Improvement Grants program. The funding is part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and will be used to improve the airport's runways, taxiways, terminal upgrades, airport-transit connections, safety, and sustainability.
