About Kit Packers Resin Lab Kit Packers

About Kit. Packers & Resin. Lab Kit. Packers was founded in the early 1970 s in Minneapolis, MN and then purchased by Ellsworth Adhesives in 1984. To further the efficiencies of the two companies, Kit. Packers was moved to Germantown, WI in 1987. In 1994, Kit. Packers combined operations with Resinlab, another unit of Ellsworth Adhesives and moved into a new facility on Morse Drive in the Germantown Industrial Park. The new Morse Drive facility was built adjacent to the Ellsworth Adhesives facility on Fulton Drive. The three companies, Kit. Packers, Resinlab and Ellsworth Adhesives complimented each other tremendously: • Kit. Packers provided custom chemical packaging • Resinlab formulated and blended resins to customer specifications • Ellsworth Adhesives distributed these products together with a complete line of specialty chemicals from major manufacturers. The result of this synergy was rapid growth that necessitated the need for more space for all three companies. In 2003, Ellsworth Adhesives moved to a new 85, 000 sq. ft. World Headquarters and Distribution Center in a new Germantown business park. The move made the Fulton Drive facility available for Kit. Packers, and allowed Kit. Packers to quadruple its manufacturing space, purchase new state of the art packaging equipment, and improve overall efficiencies. On December 14, 2012, Kit. Packers and Resinlab moved into this 107, 000 square foot facility, just five miles from the Fulton Drive location and very near the main Ellsworth Adhesives building. The new building greatly expands production, laboratory and office space for the business with room to expand as the business grows.
