Freshpack

Southern Wisconsin’s premier food packaging firm, Freshpack, selected Kraemer Brothers after receiving a referral from another satisfied client. In response to increased demand for Freshpack’s custom cheese packaging services, the company needed to renovate production rooms at its South Plant. To avoid downtime, we strategically divided the project into two phases—remodeling the west production room first, followed by the east production room. Each room was upgraded with remodeled cooler spaces designed to support growth and improve operational efficiency. This project marks the first step of Freshpack’s long-term strategy to significantly enhance operations at the South Plant.

The third phase of Freshpack’s long-term strategy expanded operations at its South Plant. Consisting of cold, dry, and finished goods storage, this expansion more than triples the original building and expands Freshpack’s total operations to 70,000 square feet. The expanded facility features state-of-the-art equipment upgrades, including advanced cheese spread and dip production capabilities that will double current production capacity and allow for the creation of new whipped products. The expansion will not only continue to allow Freshpack the ability to deliver industry-leading solutions; it is also an investment into Monticello and the surrounding communities. Over the next five years, Freshpack anticipates adding 50 new jobs and processing an additional 11 million pounds of cheese, much of which is sourced from Wisconsin cheese makers.
