National Packaging’s History of Scaling Innovation
National’s origins go back to the late 1960’s, when brothers Ernest and Ralph Matthews got the idea for a rotary-drive packaging machine that could produce sugar packets far faster than the standard reciprocating machines of the day. The result was the Ropak III, which achieved 10X the industry standard speed!
Under the umbrella of Matthews Industries, the brothers sold Ropak machines and provided packaging services through most of the 1970’s and early 1980’s.
Then in 1984, the brothers spun off Ropak Manufacturing Company, Inc., and soon after, Ralph launched National Packaging Company to handle the packaging side of the business, allowing Ropak to focus on machine manufacturing.
This strategic move led National to build partnerships with major national brands and regional businesses. We launched Splenda into the market and have been a major manufacturer of Sweet & Low. And these are just a couple of examples of the many innovative home and restaurant products we’ve supported in formulation, growth, and production.
Throughout our journey, we’ve collaborated with Fortune 100 companies, major importers, and local brands, helping them successfully launch and manufacture their products.
Over the last decade, we’ve conducted countless product trials and produced over 20 billion packets and millions of bags for our customers.
Innovation is in our DNA, forming the foundation of our company and underpinning all of our work to date. Our evolution spans from revolutionizing the sugar packet industry to empowering diverse companies entering today’s accessible market space.
We assist powder and dry goods companies of all sizes to scale and elevate their products to new heights. Upholding Ralph Matthews’ values of partnership and integrity throughout three generations and counting, we continue to offer unmatched expertise and service, supporting food businesses on their path to market success.
