The company originally began as a manufacturer of nailed wooden shipping boxes and crates. In 1921, Wisconsin Box officially acquired the rights to a process for making wirebound boxes and crates - the main product line that Wisconsin Box makes to this day. Moving on to the late 1940's and early 1950's, an important contribution to the wirebound box industry was made by B. Eugene ("Gene") Davis, when he developed and pioneered the use of what has come to be known as the wirebound "pallet box". This allowed for the handling of containers holding as much as 1-2 tons and more by mechanical handling equipment such as forklift trucks. In 1961 Gene Davis became vice president in charge of sales and by 1967 had acquired controlling ownership of Wisconsin Box. Under his leadership, Wisconsin Box continued to grow despite the challenges of the prevailing economic conditions as well as the introduction of substitute forms of packaging such as "triple wall" corrugated boxes. In January of 1984, Gene Davis Sr. stepped down as president of Wisconsin Box Company and his younger son W.J. "Jeff" Davis picked up where his father left off. Since Jeff Davis took control of the company, Wisconsin Box has expanded its original manufacturing location in Wausau, Wisconsin by adding three (3) other manufacturing locations in Cleveland, WI; Tonawanda (Buffalo) NY; and Dyer, TN. Today, Wisconsin Box Company is the only manufacturer of wirebound boxes with multiple plant locations to serve its customers. Wisconsin Box has become the industry-wide leader in the design and fabrication of wirebound wooden shipping boxes and crates, with over 100 years of continued service and dedication to its clients.
