Our Story
Eli Field was born in 1910 and raised in England. At age 13, he left Liverpool, England for America to meet his father, who had earlier immigrated to Chicago. For a time, Eli worked as a salesman for a box manufacturer but was unfulfilled in his work and thought he could do better. So, with $500, Eli founded Field Container Corp LLP in 1942. Success shortly followed.
