About TricorBraun
TricorBraun combines the history, talents and resources of several venerable packaging companies. TricorBraun was started (as Northwestern Bottle Company) by Samuel Kranzberg in 1902. As a company it has evolved through a century characterized by dramatic change. Originally a used glass bottle company, Northwestern Bottle became the first distributor for Owens-Illinois, the first company to manufacture glass bottles with a blow-molding machine.
The company has since moved through three generations of Kranzberg sons, beginning with Samuel and passing next to Mickey Kranzberg, who took over the business in 1942 – about the same time as the first plastic bottle was manufactured by the Plax Company. Ken Kranzberg entered the business in 1960 and immediately began expanding through opening new branches and making strategic acquisitions and mergers. Today there are more than 40 locations in the US, Mexico, Canada and China.
