Today, J.J. Keller remains a privately owned business. It ranks as one of the largest employers in Wisconsin's Fox River Valley, employing over 1,200 associates and serving over 350,000 customers. While most associates work at the company's four locations in Neenah and Appleton, a number of associates are located throughout the United States to provide personalized service to customers.

Celebration of the 60th anniversary will continue throughout 2013 with events and a J.J. Keller history book supplement highlighting the company's changes and growth over the past 10 years.
