Packaging Tape rebrands to Rocket Industrial

Packaging Tape, a 58-year old packaging and industrial supply company, will change its name and rebrand to Rocket Industrial effective Monday, June 1, 2015.

The company has grown well beyond its 1957 origins when it began by selling only packaging tape. Today, the company offers thousands of different types of packaging and industrial supply products from hundreds of world-class brands.

“Over the last couple of years we have filled key leadership positions with experts in their respective fields, and improved our infrastructure, and supply chain,” said said president Ryan Gallagher. “These changes have positioned Rocket Industrial to better serve our existing clients, and also allows us to scale our business, as needed, to service additional regions across the United States.”

Rocket Industrial specializes in helping high-performance companies throughout the United States optimize packaging and automation processes by providing expertise across hundreds of best-in-class packaging and industrial brands, stocking thousands of products in warehouses located throughout the U.S.

The company, headquartered in Wausau, Wisc., was founded by Ray and Marie Goldbach. The couple also founded Marathon Cheese Corporation. In total, Marathon Cheese, Rocket Industrial, and CleanFreak.com—a subsidiary of Rocket that specializes in selling professional cleaning supplies—employ more than 1,000 people across the country. The companies remain privately owned by Mrs. Goldbach.
