Our History

Arrow Box Company was established in 1964 in the garage of Lou Deutschman.

Lou built business relationships by day and boxes by night. With a relentless dedication to servicing customer needs, paralleled only by product quality, the business grew. Within 3 short years, Arrow Box had 25 employees in a 20,000 sq. ft. building in south central St. Louis. Another move in 1971 allowed Arrow Box Company to build a new facility on 5.5 acres of property in Kirkwood, MO.

In 1986, Jess Kramper joined Arrow Box Company. As General Manager, Jess guided the company through two real estate expansions of the primary facility, the acquisition of a secondary warehousing facility, as well as a cluster of newer, more efficient machinery to further expand manufacturing capabilities. Jess acquired full ownership of Arrow Box Company in 2015 to continue Lou’s mission of exceptional Quality & Service.
