Rocket Industrial is a packaging solutions company that provides innovative products and services that help businesses streamline their packaging processes. With a rich history spanning over six decades, Rocket Industrial continues to lead the industry with its commitment to quality, customer satisfaction, and innovation. Rocket Industrial is dedicated to helping the world #PackageWithLess, less waste, less cost, and less complexity.
Our mission is to improve sustainability in the industries we serve through process optimization, eliminating excess packaging, and sourcing sustainable products.
Rocket Industrial is committed to ensuring food safety and quality as a preferred packaging supplier of many leading cheese and meat processors in the Midwest. This year, we transitioned from the BRC (British Retail Consortium) to the SQF (Safe Quality Food) Audit to align with our customer’s business models and requests. To confirm our commitment to safety and quality, our Wausau facility has achieved the highest grade of excellent during its first SQF Audit with a 98/100 score.
The Million Pound Promise is a commitment by Rocket Industrial to work towards removing at least 1,000,000 lbs. of packaging material from the waste stream annually. Package With Less™ has become our mantra and moving sustainability forwards has become our goal. We take great pride in providing sustainable solutions to our clients and in turn the world.
We proudly announce that Rocket Industrial is Certified as a Great Place to Work for the ninth year in a row! This prestigious award is based entirely on employee feedback. Through an anonymous survey, 90% of our employees said Rocket Industrial is a great place to work, which is 33% higher than the average U.S. company. By offering our employees generous paid time off, flexible scheduling, professional development, and other unique benefits, we set ourselves apart from other companies.
Sustana needed to improve the quality of its recycled fiber products in terms of appearance, strength, brightness, bulk, and ink receptivity. They sought a more environmentally friendly production process with a longer shelf life and more economical shipping than the wet lap fiber production process. We worked with Matthews Marking Systems to implement a custom-engineered marking solution to support Sustana's sustainability goals and the expanded production capacity at the De Pere plant. The V-Series printer solution ensures flexibility, high efficiency, cost-per-print savings, and reliability.
In 2016, Rocket Industrial initiated a promise to remove one million pounds of packaging waste from the landfill through optimization of our clients' packaging, annually. While falling just short of that number the first few years, we are proud to announce in 2020 our goal was first met. Numerous re-engineering projects paired with total costs analysis propelled us past our mark.
