LOS ANGELES, Dec. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- National supply
chain solutions company Rehrig Pacific announced today the sale of
its Pails division to Arkansas-based manufacturer Polyethylene
Containers Inc. (PCI). The sale transfers a product line that
Rehrig Pacific built rapidly from the ground up in recent years as
part of a strategy of constant innovation and diversification to
meet clients' supply chain needs.
"Business is always changing," said Will
Rehrig, president and owner of Rehrig Pacific. "When my
great grandfather started this business in 1913, we made wooden
battery crates. Today, I'm proud to say that we are constantly
innovating and building new product lines that set a standard for
quality and reliability. This is a smart strategic move for two
forward-thinking companies, that will help both of us serve our
customers better."
PCI CEO Walter Tyson agreed.
"Rehrig Pacific has a strong reputation for excellent manufacturing
and product development, and we're proud to be carrying this
product line forward at PCI. Rehrig Pacific's Pails business will
complement and bolster our existing work in the same category and
expand our ability to deliver just the right product to a wide
range of customers."
The sale is expected to conclude by March
2021. PCI will partner with Rehrig Pacific throughout the
transition to fully meet all outstanding requirements for existing
Rehrig Pacific customers, and no other Rehrig Pacific products or
divisions will be impacted by the sale.
