Milan Box Corporation had its beginning in 1927 when Mr. A.N. Dedmon moved to Milan from Gibson, TN and began making boxes and crates to pack out the region's bountiful fruit crop. With the advent of World War II, the company expanded and began manufacturing military ammunition boxes. During the 1950's, due to the rapidly growing demand in the industrial sector, the company shifted more of its production from the fruit and vegetable markets to the industrial markets. Milan Box Corporation is a fourth-generation family business, owned and operated since 1927. Throughout our history, Milan Box has maintained its excellent reputation as a high-quality manufacturer of plywood and wood packaging within the military and industrial/commercial industries.
