ABOUT US

Doing What’s Right—for Our Customers, Team, and Community.

A Legacy of Doing Things Right.

Since 1972, Fischer Paper Products has been committed to delivering more than just packaging. We’re proud to deliver peace of mind. What started with William A. Fischer’s belief in exceptional service has grown into a trusted, family-led business with a national presence.

1972
In 1972, William A. Fischer launched the business with two employees and two bag machines. From a small shop in Antioch, we started delivering big service to Chicago and Milwaukee.
1980s
We moved into a larger facility and expanded our presence east of the Rocky Mountains. We began to focus more on custom manufacturing and branding our stock bags for chain restaurants.
1990s
Custom work outpaced our catalog sales, and we produced a billion bags in a single year for the first time. In 1999, Benno Fischer took over as second-generation owner to lead us into a new era.
2000s
Growth accelerated. We added new equipment and introduced window panel bakery bags. By 2006, we achieved our first food safety certification, as we focused more exclusively on foodservice packaging.
2010s
Josh Fischer took the reins in 2011, bringing third-generation leadership. We added a second site and achieved GFSI compliance aligning us further to the foodservice industry.
2020s
We opened a new flagship headquarters in 2020, launched a line of handle bags, and surpassed 100 employees on our team in 2023. In 2023, we revealed our Goodness Within message along with a refreshed brand look.

Josh Fischer | President & Owner

Built on a promise. Still delivering on it.

In the early 1970s, as the foodservice industry rapidly grew, one thing was hard to come by: dependable packaging and service. William A. Fischer saw customers struggling to find products they could count on—and he set out to change that.

In 1972, he founded Fischer Paper Products with a simple goal: deliver reliable paper packaging with fast turnaround and personal service. But it wasn’t just what he delivered—it was how. William built the business on relationships rooted in trust, respect, and integrity. He honored every commitment, kept every promise, and led with his word. That founding philosophy still drives us today. Three generations later, we remain family owned and proudly guided by the same values — now led by William A. Fischer’s grandson and current owner and president, Josh Fischer.


“We’ve stayed true to the values that started it all—personal relationships and dependable service you can count on. That’s why our promise is simple: always do what’s right—for our customers, our team, our partners, and our community. That’s the Goodness Within. It’s guided us for over 50 years and continues to shape everything we do.”
