Badger Tag & Label is a label printer steeped in history. This Wisconsin-based converter got its beginning in 1935, and the company has been operating out of the same Random Lake location since that day.
In 1935, Emil Thiel founded Badger Tag Corporation on the motto of, “We fit the tag to its purpose.” This tagline still rings true today.
Thiel participated in multiple business ventures, but the Great Depression left him with a decision. He bought out his partners and other stockholders, and he subsequently invited his two sons, Elmer and Clarence, and three daughters to join him, making the company a family business.
Bob Thiel serves as president, while Dale (DJ) Jacoby and Kevin Kalkofen are vice presidents. Bob, son of Clarence, grew up at the company, where he performed a variety of tasks over summers alongside his brother, Dick. Both brothers joined the company full time after graduating college. Dick recently retired
