This year, Wasatch Container proudly celebrates 30 years of delivering high-quality custom packaging solutions in corrugated, foam and wood crates. What began in 1995 as a small brown box manufacturer has become a trusted name in packaging, known for innovation, craftsmanship, and customer care.
Founded by Jerry Frisch, a Packaging Engineering graduate from the University of Wisconsin-Stout, Wasatch Container was built with a simple but powerful mission: to create packaging that performs and protects while helping customers stand out. That mission still drives us today.
Over the years, Jerry’s vision and strategic investments transformed the company into a leader in custom packaging. From our start in a single facility, we operate out of three specialized manufacturing plants in Salt Lake City, covering more than 225,000 square feet. At the heart of this growth is our talented team of over 85 professionals, experts in design, production, and service, who go the extra mile for every customer.
Wasatch Container remains family-owned and operated, with Jerry joined by his children, Ryan and Lauren Frisch, as Vice Presidents, in leadership roles. The Frisch family’s hands-on approach has helped us remain agile, focused, and true to our values as we expand our capabilities.
One of the cornerstones of our success is our focus on technology and innovation. By continuously investing in advanced equipment and more intelligent systems, we’ve increased production speed, improved product quality, and expanded our creative potential. But for us, innovation is always tied to impact, helping customers meet their goals, solve challenges, and bring their brands to life.
The people who make it happen are just as important as the packaging we produce. From machine operators and designers to customer service reps and logistics coordinators, our team is behind our reputation for reliability and excellence. We believe good packaging starts with good people, and we’re proud to have built a workplace where skill, collaboration, and long-term relationships thrive.
For the last 5 years, we have been honored to be named Utah’s Best of State in Packaging. This recognition and other industry accolades reflect our ongoing commitment to quality, service, and continuous improvement. They motivate us to keep raising the bar.
As we mark this 30-year milestone, we remain focused on what’s ahead. Our mission stays the same: to deliver innovative, value-added packaging through thoughtful design, reliable manufacturing, and a commitment to customer success.
To our employees, customers, and partners, thank you for being part of the Wasatch Container journey. Here’s to the next 30 years of building more innovative packaging, together.
