JBL Hall of Fame

THE JEWISH FEDERATION OF OMAHA INVITES THE COMMUNITY TO HONOR AND CELEBRATE THE LEGACY OF Carl Riekes Ryco Packaging AT THEIR INDUCTION INTO THE HALL OF FAME

Carl has spent his entire career in the Wholesale Distribution of Rigid Packaging (glass, plastic and metal bottles, jars, cans, caps, closures and dispensing systems). Carl joined the family business, S. Riekes & Sons, in 1968. In 1971 he relocated to Denver, Colorado. In 1975 the family business was sold to a large conglomerate called Alco Standard Corporation. In 1977 he was promoted to Western Regional President and relocated to Southern California. In 1985 Carl left Alco and returned to Omaha where he founded Ryco Packaging Corporation. In 22 years, Ryco grew from a start up to a company with annual revenues exceeding $150 million. Ryco won over a dozen packaging industry awards for design, innovation, and functionality. Ryco was sold in 2007 to a Chicago based private equity firm. Carl was recently inducted into the National Association of Container Distributors Hall of Fame.
