COMPANY HISTORY
| In 1944, Abraham Rutt
founded the Keystone Paper & Box Company in East Windsor,
Connecticut. In the early
years, the company distributed shirt boxes and other supplies to the laundry
industry.

After World War II,
Abraham’s son, Melvin Rutt, returned from military service to join the family
business. Soon after, the growing company discovered it was more efficient and
economical to make boxes rather than buy them. Since then, Keystone’s primary
focus has been the design and manufacture of folding cartons.

| Today Abraham’s grandson,
James Rutt, proudly serves as Keystone’s president, and is joined by his
brother Daniel. The company continues to thrive into its third generation.
