A Bright Future!
In 2018 North Star Sheets began operation in a new facility in Cottage Grove, Minnesota. The new plant was a necessary and strategic expansion. “Alliance Sheets, Heartland Sheets and Independence Corrugated were all shipping a considerable amount of corrugated to the Twin Cities, and freight costs were escalating- It was the right place at the right time to continue our growth in the Midwestern market," says John Lingle, president and general manager of Schwarz Partners. Using the Schwarz Partners method to form a world-class corrugated manufacturing operation, the facility has surpassed all start-up expectations.
