A NOTE ABOUT OPI, INC. AND OPI, LLC

The company was founded in 1950, by Theodore J. Kachelmeier and John Kachelmeier in a one car garage in Sheboygan, Wisconsin.  The main revenue of the company, in its early years, was earned from the sale of Teflon coated seal bars and related packaging equipment.  The growth of the business required several moves. 

In 1955 the company rented, and then purchased the current building.  Shortly after, the company purchased the building at 2208 So. 19th Street, which is now being used as the warehouse.  This property was formerly rented to the Morning Glory Dairy.  When OPI, Inc., had outgrown the 1903 Oakland Avenue property, it was able to connect the 1903 Oakland Avenue property and the 2208 So. 19th Street loading area and warehouse.  The Gassert Oil Company land, which consisted of four lots, was available for purchase, so the company owners formed a holding company which then purchased the property containing a warehouse and main office.  This then led to the purchase of the property directly south of the 2208 So. 19th Street warehouse.  In addition, in May of 1988, OPI, Inc. had enclosed its courtyard area with a solarium lunch room, locker room and shower.  While it increased its warehouse which included a loading dock.

Being a specialized service company, OPI, Inc. supplies other manufacturers with Teflon coated parts for the fluid valve industry, packaging industry, tissue manufacturing, photo copier and laser printer industry, and commercial food processing plants across the nation.
