Established in 1922 by Molly, Sam, and Charles Nerenberg, The Royal Group began near downtown Chicago as a producer and supplier of wooden crates, boxes, and pallets. After four decades of prosperity, the company relocated to a strategic site on 7th Avenue in Cicero. This move bolstered manufacturing capacity and drew Cicero residents into the thriving corrugated box industry. For over a century, The Royal Group expanded its facilities nationwide, diversifying its offerings from basic packaging to sophisticated high-graphic solutions and point-of-purchase displays. Deeply rooted in Cicero, the company remains a valued corporate entity, contributing employee time, products, and charitable donations to the community.
