Lester Schaefer was a paint chemist for the Devoe-Reynolds Company in Louisville, Kentucky. While there, he became involved with the development of aerosol contract packaging. He honed his skills and later, in 1946, formed the Schaefer Paint Company with his wife, Margaret.
The need for contract packaging services was increasing, and from the beginning, they excelled at meeting their customers’ needs. At that time, the aerosol industry was in its infancy, and Schafer Paint was the first independent aerosol filler in the nation.
Together, Margaret and Lester worked out of a one-car garage in Lancaster, PA, that had formerly been an ice cream plant. That garage served as the company’s headquarters for the next thirty years.
By 1953, Schaefer Paint had expanded its product line to include a wide range of industrial lubricants and paints. Lester’s knowledge of paint and chemicals enabled him to develop new products, including “Jiff Job”, a commercial grease remover that is still manufactured today.
Schaefer Paint also began developing custom can designs tailored to its customers’ unique products during this time. In 1964, Lester’s son, Kimmel, joined the company and started learning the business under his father’s guidance. He later played a key role in driving the company’s continued growth and expansion. Throughout its history, the Schaefer family has remained committed to the values and strength of a family-owned business.
By 1967, the company was outgrowing its headquarters and purchased a 10,000-square-foot facility located at 730 Georgetown Rd in Ronks. The building is only 10 miles east of Lancaster and remains the company’s only location.
Schaefer Paint Company was incorporated in 1989.
At the same time, the aerosol industry was changing, so the company responded by expanding its range of contract packaging services to include all types of liquid and paste filling, as well as silk-screen package printing.
Still growing, the company added a state-of-the-art addition to its headquarters in 1995, which now has four loading docks and 16,000 square feet of finished product storage space. Their facility is now 26,000 square feet in total.
The company, now rebranded as Schafco Packaging Company, is still owned by the Schaefer family and continues to be successful because of the family’s involvement. Kimmel and his sons, Bryan and Anthony, contribute to the company’s success. Schafco has invested in the latest packaging technologies to help ensure timely order delivery and keep prices within budget. Schafco serves a growing list of clients worldwide and will continue to deliver value through its products and superior service.
