Landis Plastics Heliport

Economic and corporate restructuring. As a private corporate heliport, its operation was a discretionary expense. The new parent company, Berry Global, likely eliminated the facility as it did not align with their operational practices or was considered an unnecessary cost after the acquisition.

The site is currently the location of the Berry Global manufacturing plant. The specific parcel of land where the helipad was located is now a grass lawn adjacent to the facility's parking lot. There are no remaining physical traces, markings, or infrastructure of the former heliport.

Landis Plastics Heliport was a private-use facility owned and operated by Landis Plastics, Inc., a major manufacturer of plastic packaging. Its sole purpose was to serve the company's corporate transportation needs. It was likely used to transport executives, key personnel, and high-value clients to and from their headquarters and manufacturing plant at 11550 S Lombard Ave, allowing them to bypass Chicago's ground traffic. The heliport consisted of a single helipad located on a grass area northwest of the main factory building. Its significance was purely logistical to the business operations of Landis Plastics and it was not open to the public.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the heliport. The facility was tied to the specific business needs of its former owner. The current owner, Berry Global, decommissioned it two decades ago, and there has been no public or corporate indication of any intent to re-establish aviation operations at the site.
