How it all started

Mitchel Garfinkle founded Mitchel Lincoln Paper in 1965. “Mitch”, as everyone called him, led the company for four decades with a hands-on approach and an open-door philosophy. If you wanted to see him, chances were you would find him improving things in the factory, listening to customers, or talking with the drivers – always out there and involved rather than behind an office desk.

The family business has grown over time, yet we maintain the same traditions and values that Mitch did. All family members are still very much involved in the company’s operations. Jimmy Garfinkle, who took over the company’s leadership after his father’s passing, says, “calling us and talking to us remains as easy as ever. We are ready and we’re looking forward to talking to you soon!”
