Louis R. Muskat (L.R.), founded Triangle Packaging Co. on May 1, 1923. 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.
Triangle originally started as a contract packaging company. As the business saw rapid growth, L.R. pivoted. In 1926, he developed his first packaging machine and sold six of them from blueprints alone. Drawing on his experience as a co-packer, he introduced the company’s first carton sealer. And with that, L.R. and Triangle Package Machinery as a company never looked back.
