Dennis Mehiel
Founder and Chairman

Dennis is the Founder and Chairman of the Four M Family of Businesses. Over the past several decades, Dennis has been a pioneer and leader in the corrugated packaging industry. He started Four M in the early 1960s with manufacturing partitions for the large consumer products manufacturers. Soon thereafter, Dennis started to expand his business into corrugated boxes and paper mills through a series of acquisitions and Tanfield expansions. Four M became Box USA and at the time of its sale to International Paper in 2004, Box USA was the largest independent corrugated packaging manufacturer in the United States. After the sale of Box USA, Dennis continued in the corrugated packaging industry through the building and growing of U.S. Corrugated which through a series of transactions were sold to Kapstone, Westrock, and Bio Pappel. Chances are that many of the box plants that manufacture corrugated boxes today were probably once owned, built, purchased, or operated by Dennis Mehiel. Today, Dennis is bringing the same entrepreneurial spirit and energy to the corrugated packaging industry through the Four 4 Family of Businesses.
