OrCon Industries Corp.

What OrCon Industries Corp. does

OrCon Industries Corp. is a privately held custom industrial packaging manufacturer founded in 1984 in LeRoy, New York. The company designs and manufactures engineered protective packaging across nine core product lines: military grade cases (via Pelican, SKB, and Nanuk distribution), foam packaging (polyethylene, XLPE, polyurethane), corrugated packaging, custom wood crating, pallets, molded pulp packaging, returnable/reusable packaging, void fill, and thermoformed plastics. OrCon serves Fortune 500 customers across seven verticals — automotive, aerospace, electronics, medical, defense, industrial manufacturing, and OEM — with undisclosed enterprise clients. Its facilities span 160,000+ square feet across three buildings in the LeRoy/Rochester, NY corridor, including CNC machining, an ISTA-certified in-house testing laboratory, and regional polyethylene foam recycling capabilities.

The company's underlying technology combines SOLIDWORKS CAD and Artios CAD for design, CNC machining for precision manufacturing of foam, wood, and plastic components, and an ISTA-certified lab for validating packaging performance under real-world transit conditions. It holds ISO 9001:2015 quality certification and ISPM-15 compliance for international wood packaging shipments, and operates as an authorized Sealed Air distributor/fabricator integrating BUBBLE WRAP and Instapak systems. Subsidiaries include FiberCel (biodegradable molded pulp, acquired 2005) and Bristol Cases (custom equipment shipping cases). OrCon has executed three acquisitions: FiberCel (2005), AC Packaging (2019), and Jamestown Container Companies' Viva Foam Division (May 2025).

OrCon's business model is sales-led and project-based, with custom-engineered solutions quoted per specification rather than standard priced tiers. Revenue is generated through one-time sales of manufactured packaging, professional engineering services (design, prototyping, testing), managed services (warehousing with Kanban/VMI/JIT capabilities, foam recycling), and on-site crating. Pricing is non-public, with multi-year contracts cited. Distribution is primarily direct enterprise field sales domestically, supplemented by channel partnerships with Sealed Air, Pelican, and bulk bin providers. The company markets through a B2B blog (2-3 articles monthly), LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram, with a 'Request a Quote' bottom-of-funnel conversion path.
