Nosco is proud to celebrate its 120th anniversary, marking twelve decades of quality, service and a shared commitment to the brands it serves. In a year when the United States marks its 250th anniversary, Nosco’s own milestone carries added meaning. It reflects a company built across generations, driven by long-standing commitment and proven to stand the test of time.
Since its founding in 1906, Nosco has grown from its roots as the National Office Supply Company into a leading packaging solutions provider serving pharmaceutical and self-care brands across the United States. After securing its first substantial pharmaceutical contract in 1932, the company expanded its capabilities and operations to meet the ever-evolving needs in healthcare printed packaging.
Today, Nosco operates five U.S.-based facilities and is 100% employee owned. Nosco’s Packaging Innovation Center and headquarters in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin, serves as a central hub for collaboration with customers and partners to innovate, test ideas and advance packaging solutions across cartons, labels, inserts and flexible packaging.
“Reaching 120 years reflects the strength and dedication of the people who have built this company over generations,” said Craig Curran, Nosco President. “As our nation marks 250 years, we are reminded that history is shaped by people who commit to something larger than themselves. At Nosco, that same commitment lives on through our employee owners, customers and partners, who continue making history together and building something that endures.”
Curran added, “Very few companies reach 120 years – less than one percent. It takes consistency and accountability, along with employees and customers who care deeply about the business. Employees and customers define Nosco – they will continue to carry us forward.”
Nosco extends its appreciation to the employees, customers, suppliers and communities who have supported the company over the past 120 years. Looking ahead, Nosco remains focused on delivering printed packaging that helps customers save lives, promote health and encourage happiness around the world – all with the reliability, quality and responsiveness people depend on.
