After 50 years of growth, Antioch’s Fischer Paper Products reflects on transformation into an industry leader.
“My grandfather, William Fischer, founded the company in 1972, and I believe he would be in awe if he saw how we have grown,” said third-generation owner, Josh Fischer. “He worked in this industry at a Libertyville facility. He liked paper packaging and food service, and was driven to be a provider.
Fischer Paper Products is the manufacturer and seller of paper-based packaging for food service distribution outlets such as restaurants, ballparks, concession stands, and food processors. A common denominator is handheld food sleeves and wrappers for food that comes with carryout and delivery items such as French fry bags, and “things you have your food wrapped in.
The company employs 125 people, and Fischer said he views them as extended family, with good relationships and good people making a key foundation for growth and success. Last year, 20 new positions were created, and going forward the goal is to create 20 new positions each year. The village of Antioch has likewise taken note of the company’s bench mark achievement, with the Village Board preparing to honor them at an upcoming meeting.
