Job description

Our Mission and Purpose

Our mission is clear: to be North America’s premier packaging solutions provider, simplifying client operations with innovative, technology-driven solutions. We are fueled by the values instilled by Nick Novy, aiming to not just meet but exceed industry benchmarks. Our purpose is to empower our customers with smarter business decisions through our expertise.

Korpack’s Promise: FAST and Beyond

Korpack stands for more than just speed. Our F.A.S.T methodology – Fearless, Adaptable, Simplistic, and Technology-driven – is a testament to our approach toward complex challenges. We’re not afraid to dive deep and tackle the toughest packaging puzzles with agility and clarity, all while harnessing the power of technology.

In the heart of Korpack, there’s a culture that thrives on agility, innovation, and relentless pursuit of excellence. We’re not your typical packaging company.

Our team, akin to a close-knit family, is dedicated to achieving success for our clients. We believe in building relationships based on trust, integrity, and mutual respect.

About Korpack

Korpack is a growing, privately held packaging solutions company in the western Chicago suburbs, providing contract packaging, packaging materials, and automation to leading consumer brands. We run food-grade (SQF) production across two facilities and are investing heavily in people, systems, and a new 350,000 sq ft expansion. Two things define how we work: efficiency — lines that run to standard, every shift — and accuracy — work orders, inventory, and shipments that are right the first time in our ERP (Acumatica).

Position Summary

Production Supervisors run half the floor on their shift: the people, the plan, and the quality of what ships. You lead the Line Leads and operators, hit the shift’s production plan, and keep the operation safe and moving.

• LMA of Line Leads— lead, manage, and hold accountable the leads running your lines.
• Personnel decisions— keep/release calls on temp associates and replacement coordination with our staffing agency.
• Equipment readiness and coverage— elevate equipment issues fast; keep lines staffed and running.
• Safety and housekeeping— a safe, food-grade floor is non-negotiable.

Day-to-day Responsibilities

• Assign leads and crews to lines based on the daily plan; adjust as the day moves
• Walk the floor: monitor rates, quality, and staffing across your lines continuously
• Partner with the shift Production Control Supervisor on WOs, materials, and line-feed
• Make performance calls on temp associates and coordinate replacements with the agency
• Enforce safety, GMP, and housekeeping standards; lead shift startup/handoff communication
