Goettsch International — ประวัติของเรา
มรดกครอบครัวในเครื่องจักรลูกฟูกที่ครอบคลุมมากกว่าหนึ่งศตวรรษ
Goettsch International has a long history in the corrugated machinery industry, dating back to the early 1900s. The Goettsch family's legacy began in the folding carton industry, with the next generation exporting American machinery as early as the 1920s. Today, companies across 85+ countries depend on Goettsch International for comprehensive, best-of-industry corrugated container solutions.
The Goettsch Family
Herman Goettsch
Founder
Herman Goettsch, a pioneer in the folding carton industry, retired as general manager of The Sefton Box Company in Chicago, Illinois — a forerunner of Container Corporation of America. After retiring, he returned to Germany in the early 1920s and started a business representing American companies, planting the seed for what would become Goettsch International.

Walter Goettsch
Inventor & Executive VP, Langston
Herman's son Walter worked alongside Sam Langston to develop the first manufactured corrugator — a landmark invention that transformed the packaging industry. Walter also developed the cascade steam system and secured more than 20 patents before retiring as Executive Vice President at Langston Corporation.

Carl O. Goettsch
Founder, Carl O. Goettsch Company
Another of Herman's sons, Carl took over the family business in Dresden in 1929. Amid the turbulence of the 1930s, he relocated the business first to Switzerland, then to the United States. In 1950 he founded the Carl O. Goettsch Company in Cincinnati, Ohio, initially exporting paper products and machinery. Over the following decade, corrugating machinery became the heart of the business.

Charles Goettsch
President
When Carl's son Charles joined the business in 1966, he expanded the product line to include recycling machinery — a forward-thinking move that broadened Goettsch's reach into the fast-growing recycling industry and diversified the company's expertise well beyond corrugating.

Eric Goettsch
President
In 1973, Carl's son Eric joined the family business and transformed Goettsch's geographic footprint by expanding aggressively into Latin America. A visionary leader and beloved figure in the industry, Eric served as President of Goettsch International until his passing in 2015, leaving behind a legacy of lasting partnerships across the region.

Michael & Andy Goettsch

Eric's sons Michael and Andy entered the business in 1997 and 2006, respectively. Mike leads the company as CEO and Andy as President.
