Rebel Converting Shows Support for Ukraine
Rebel Converting Shows Support for Ukraine
Rebel Converting employees Cody Fries and Danielle Schwarz were raising the flag outside the Saukville facility to show solidarity with Ukraine.
Free Ukraine
For a Free Ukraine
In 1979 as a 23 year old I studied in Kracow, Poland, as an exchange student for six months. I got an up-close look at what it was like to live under Soviet occupation. Let me tell you, it was a grim everyday experience. My status as an American gained me access to many resistance leaders who would later take part in the 1980 Solidarity uprising. That followed the election of Cardinal Karol Wojtyla as Pope John Paul II; and formation of the first legal trade union in Gdansk. So I get it about the war in Ukraine. I know why the Ukrainians are resisting the Russian invasion so fiercely. It is why you see the flag of Ukraine flying at our facilities, side by side with the American flag. We are not alone. Rebel Converting is part of a rising tide. American businesses are increasingly of one mind when it comes to Putin’s Russia. We are done with him and his criminal regime. Long live a free and independent Ukraine.

REBELS AT IDEA22

Rebel had a blast this year down in Miami at the 2022 IDEA show! Rebel’s booth featured a 4′ life-like canister that sported Eddie the Eagle- 60’s style! The van behind the Rebels in the photo was a classic 1973 Volkswagen Van that was converted into a photo booth. All you had to do was step into the van with your psychedelic sunglasses or afro wig and just like that you were transported straight to the 60’s! After you exited the booth a photo strip was printed out for you to remember this one of a kind, groovy experience.

Thanks to Ozaukee Press
A Shoutout To The Ozaukee Press
Thank you to The Ozaukee Press for their nice writeup on our ongoing Saukville expansion. We recently sold our original facility at 700 N. Progress Dr. and will be consolidating operations at our new location at 655 N. Dekora Woods Blvd. That location, acquired in 2021, will undergo a major expansion, nearly doubling its current footprint of 98,600 square foot. The plan is for a 78,500-square-foot addition to the north side of the plant. It’s going to include office and employee common areas and slightly more than 70,000 square feet of climate-controlled manufacturing space. Our corporate headquarters and main plant remains at 11225 W. Heather Avenue in northwest Milwaukee. We thank the Village of Saukville for expediting development of this project. We’re proud to be part of the fabric of the Saukville community. It will always have a special place in our hearts as the place where we began in business. Read the entire article here.
