Interpak company history timeline

1957

With her 1957 breakout hit "Walkin' after Midnight," she became the first female country vocalist to cross over to the pop charts.

Company Beginnings in 1965

Lund International was founded in 1965 by Allan W. Lund, an entrepreneur highly skilled in the design of fiberglass products.

1974

He began producing prototype work for snowmobile, boat, and other recreational vehicle makers, and started making sun visors in a Coon Rapids, Minnesota chicken barn in 1974.

1992

Interpak was created in 1992 after Mark Schmissrauter visited the Interpack Exhibition Show in Dusseldorf, Germany.

1994

Lund consolidated operations and doubled its production capacity as a means of keeping up with demand for its products, which soared 41 percent in the first nine months of fiscal 1994, compared with results of a year earlier.

In 1994, Deflecta-Shield acquired a leading aluminum products manufacturer, which enabled the company to extend product offerings to a more diverse market.

1996

Most competing companies in the market had sales of less than $40 million, while Deflecta Shield reported sales of $72.3 million in 1996.

1997

In the winter of 1997, Lund signed a merger agreement to acquire a much larger competitor, Deflecta-Shield Corporation of Indianola, Iowa.

1998

Acquisition-related expenses caused a revenue loss in 1998.

2000

Company officials remained optimistic and estimated that by 2000, more than half the vehicles sold in the United States would be light trucks.

The company continued to develop new cost-competitive products in response to weaker than anticipated sales in fiscal 2000, and anticipated strong longer-term demand for light truck and heavy truck accessories.

2009

Around the same time in 2009, Interpak and HDG Verpackungsmaschinen (located in Lindlar, Germany) partnered to bring fast flexible pouch machines into the US market.
