In partnership with the Plant City Chamber of Commerce, on June 5, 2025, LidWorks will have a Ribbon Cutting ceremony to commemorate this milestone.  

Since its founding in 1985, the company has been committed to delivering innovative and reliable packaging solutions to the leading quick-service and fast-casual restaurant chains, convenience stores, coffee houses and distributors. 

Over the past four decades, LidWorks has built a reputation for quality and reliability, offering a comprehensive range of foodservice lids for hot and cold applications. The company's patented modular production platform allows for more options at competitive values, ensuring that clients receive products tailored to their specific needs.

“We stay in touch with the latest materials and equipment developments and are often looked to for our expertise in emerging technologies,” said Bob Schaefer, Director of Engineering at LidWorks.  “Our fairly flat corporate structure means we have daily connection with all levels of management to make significant decisions that lead to fast action.” 

LidWorks plans to continue to expand into end user accounts, while still supporting the OEM suppliers, as it’s done for years.  “The [future] is often tricky to speculate in our industry, so our nimble and diverse approach is our best advantage in supporting and growing with it,” said Schaefer. 

Reflecting on the company's journey, Mazzarolo added, "I've got a great team. Everyone is marching in the same direction, and I'm very proud of that."
