Roberds Converting

Roberds Converting Company was established in 1907 in Marion, Indiana, supplying laminated chipboard to the furniture and steel industries. The company was purchased in 1977 by Earl Achberger and today his sons, Jim, President and Will, VP of Manufacturing, own and oversee daily operations of the company. In 1979 the operation, consisting of one bed-knife Moore & White sheeter, moved to southwestern Ohio. First to Hamilton, then Blue Ash, finally settling in Loveland, Ohio near the Fields Ertel Road exit from I-71. Roberds continues to grow at a rapid pace, with steady increases in annual volume and sales. The company employs 35 and in recent years has strategically bolstered its arsenal of paperboard converting equipment. The Northeast Drive facility currently houses four sheeters, three guillotine trimmers and an abundance of prime roll stock. To facilitate quick response to customer requirements, Roberds warehouses first run, paperboard roll goods in a vast array of grades, widths and calipers in the 75,000 square foot Greater Cincinnati facility. In addition, Roberds keeps good company, dealing exclusively with world wide leaders in paperboard manufacturering. A state of the art, software system meticulously tracks individual inventory units from purchase through the entire sales and converting process. Facilitating a smooth responsive workflow and excellent materials genealogy.
