Milwaukee Corrugating Company

The Milwaukee Corrugating Company in 1902 by Louis Kuehn in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Its industry was metal hardware products and its headquarters was in Milwaukee, Wisconsin (1902-1986) and Frankfort, Kentucky (1986-1988). It was acquired by the Inland Steel Company in 1936 where it remained as a subsidiary until 1986 when the company was split up, most acquired by the Butler Manufacturing Company. The Inryco division failed to be profitable, and so its Frankfort plant was closed in mid-1988 while the rights to the "INRYCO" name were sold to the H. H. Robertson Company.

The Milcor division plant in Lima, Ohio opened in 1972. When Inryco was split up in 1986, Milcor, Inc. was formed and acquired the Milcor division.
