Toteco Packaging

Lars Mikkelsen established Mikkelsen Enterprises in 1974 to nationally market bulk packaging, folding cartons, and flexible packaging in the frozen food industry. He was instrumental in developing the concept for laminating material to form a 1-piece, 3-ply, corrugated bin. He named it the HPT (High Performance Tote) which is now a standard within the industry. To accommodate the industry, the firm added products such as spiral-wound corner posts, to reinforce the bin structure, and slip sheets.
