Myers Container invests
in the future with a new facility
Emeryville, California – Myers Container breaks ground on a new
state-of-the-art facility to be brought on-line by the end of 2004.
The new operation is
strategically located in the heart of the LA basin in the City of Industry.
The multi-million dollar investment signifies a commitment by Myers
Container to remain the premier industrial packaging manufacturer and
reconditioner in the Western United States. The new facility is designed to
be the most environmentally friendly operation in the industry with unique
equipment designed to minimize emissions and energy consumption.
“We are staking our
claim on the future” states John Cutt, President and CEO of Myers Container,
“Our investment illustrates our intention to grow this company. We are
driven to be the best container company in America. Our customers and the
families that depend on Myers Container can count on us for their future.”
Myers Container’s
roots stem back to the company’s formation by George Myers in 1919. The
present management team purchased Myers Container from Kaiser Steel in
1984. Today, the three operating families, Cutt, Holmes and Stavig, each
own an equal share of the company. Each family has a second generation
leading the company with Peter Cutt, Michael Holmes and Kyle Stavig prepared
to take the company into the future.
Through
multiple plants located in the Western United States, Myers Container
manufactures a complete line of eight to eighty-five (8-85) gallon carbon
steel and galvanized steel drums. The product line includes salvage drums,
nestable drums, containerizable drums, and powdercoated steel drums for
hard-to-hold and exotic high-purity ladings.
Container Management
Services, LLC, the joint venture between Myers Container and Container
Management Services, provides reconditioning services for Drums and
Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs) throughout the West.
