Since 1955, Vonco Products LLC has produced flexible packaging products for the medical, food and industrial markets. The company’s recent growth stems from a new packaging product for liquid products, particularly medical fluids and stand-up pouches.
The company recently completed a move to a new 80,000-square-foot facility in Trevor.
Previously located in Lake Villa, Illinois, Vonco outgrew its existing location and found Kenosha County to be a great fit.
“It was important to us that we didn’t lose any of our associates with the move,” said Keith Smith, president of Vonco Products. “We have a very technical workforce so we weren’t interested in going too far and losing any of our employees.”
The company narrowed its search to three counties, Kenosha County and McHenry and Lake Counties in Illinois, and ultimately settled on being the anchor tenant of The Kenosha Area Business Alliance’s new business park in Trevor, just eight miles from its former location
“The political climate, the focus on manufacturing and agriculture within the state, and the strong presence of both food and medical industry was appealing,” Smith said.
In addition to moving to a new facility, Vonco has also invested heavily in new equipment and upgrading its quality certifications. Over the next year, Vonco also plans to certify its clean room.
