History
The roots of SL Packaging go back to the end of the 19th century.
From 1892 until today
SL Packaging can look back on a company history of more than 100 years. In 1892, master locksmith Fritz Streuber founded his company to manufacture ash buckets, watering cans and tubs, laying the foundation for a success story that continues to this day.
