History

The origins of Greener Corp. can actually be traced back to our great-grandfather, Joseph Wojtech, who opened a general purpose machine shop in Newark, NJ in 1912. Our grandfather continued in the trade by founding his own toolmaking business in 1938, which became one of the first companies to produce carbide tipped cutting tools.

Twenty two years later our father established Form Tool Corp. and not long thereafter began making horizontal wrapping machine knives for a local biscuit bakery. As demand for these knives increased and the business expanded he made the decision to drop the other product lines and concentrate exclusively on parts for packaging machinery. The company name was changed to Greener Corp., and he joined forces with Noel Brown, who handled the sales and marketing side of the business.

In the 1970's the company played a prominent role in the switch from cellophane to polypropylene packaging materials. The new film made packages more difficult to open, and high precision knives were required to provide a serrated, or "zig zag," cut. The manufacture of these zig zag knives called for specialized, extremely accurate grinding machinery, which we designed and built in-house. To this day we still build much of our own specialized CNC grinding equipment.

As the knife business grew to include customers throughout North America we made the natural extension into crimpers and sealing jaws, filling a previously unmet need for quality and technical innovation.

As the product line grew so did our need for space. In 1980 we moved to our current location in Beachwood, NJ. Over the years we have expanded with several additions to the original building as well as the purchase of two neighboring buildings.

All along, our employees have formed the foundation for our success through their dedication to craft and continuous desire for improvement. It is because of them that you can expect the exceptional when you utilize our products and services.

Our product line has continued to expand with the introduction of such items as the Micro-Edge Zig Zag and the patented Easy Seal Crimper design. And our customer base has grown to include packaged goods companies, packaging machine manufacturers and flexible packaging converters all around the world.

As the current owners of Greener Corp. we are proud to carry on the family and company traditions of superior products, innovation, technical expertise and exceptional customer service.
