Rehrig Pacific Expands All-Plastic Commercial Container Production to Midwest and Southeast Regions (April, 2007)
LOS ANGELES, CA -- April 18, 2007 - Rehrig Pacific Company announced today that production of its line of NuWave™ all-plastic Commercial Containers has been expanded into the Midwest and Southeast regions of the U.S. This move complements NuWave's current production in Orange County, CA and will significantly reduce transport costs for customers in the eastern half of the U.S. and Canada. Rehrig has been offering two, three, and four-yard containers since 2005 and recently introduced a six-cubic-yard NuWave™ container into its product line.
The one-piece polyethylene dumpsters are the first application to emerge from NOVA Chemicals' Rotomolder Network, a group of rotational molders located throughout North America. The containers are manufactured using NOVA Chemicals' SURPASS® resins, which are made with Advanced SCLAIRTECH™ technology and deliver superior processing advantages and strength in rotomolded applications.
"There are numerous benefits to Rehrig's partnerships with NuWave and NOVA Chemicals," said Mike Schwallbach, General Manager of Rehrig Pacific's Environmental business unit. "The Environmental group has added another new container that fits nicely into our existing product offerings," he continued. "As a part-owner of NuWave, we will have full access to the manufacturing operations and quality control. Our technical partnership with NOVA Chemicals will aid in the further development of new rotationally molded products, creating future growth opportunities and options to enter new markets."
Rehrig's NuWave™ rotationally molded containers were first to feature integrally molded-in pockets and hinges that deliver an all-plastic container solution for the waste collection industry. Compared to steel dumpsters, plastic dumpsters are quieter, virtually maintenance free, and more than strong enough to handle the needs of today's waste haulers. Durable and rust proof, polyethylene dumpsters are highly resistant to corrosion and abuse.
