As covered previously in this blog, Marathon was organized in 1909 in Wausau, but didn't become a presence in Menasha until 1927 when it acquired Menasha Printing and Carton Company, a manufacturer of bread wrappers and paper containers for food. Later, printing capabilities and its own ink plant were added, making the then Marathon company the largest printer in the world.
