About Us

We’re Disruptive. In a Really Good Way.

Learn How

Our founder, Eric J. Wilhelm is the kind of results-driven leader who motivates talented people to deliver the goods—as in exceptional results—by shaking up the status quo. In the early 90’s, after a lifetime in warehousing, sales engineering, marketing, manufacturing, and executive level logistics sales, Eric founded Wilpak, a supply chain/contract packaging company. His disruptive business approach quickly established Wilpak as an industry leader. In 2006, Eric sold Wilpak. And in 2011, he began laying the groundwork for a new kind of contract packaging services company. That company was Coregistics. Today, it’s an award-winning, best-in-class service provider with a stellar reputation for turn-on-a-dime flexibility and sophisticated systems.

Giving Back


At Coregistics, we’ve always wanted to help the communities in which we live and work. This isn’t just talk. It’s not mere “public relations.” We feel fortunate to do what we do, and we want to leverage our success into helping enrich and save lives. That’s why, every year, we sponsor The Gears and Greens Golf Tournament. This event raises money for the largest, most diverse bone marrow registry in the world—Be The Match.The registry matches patients who have leukemia, lymphoma and other life-threatening diseases with compatible donors. After this year’s tournament, Coregistics will have raised nearly a half million dollars to this important, life-saving cause.
