Encore Container Wave of Growth Paves Way for Installation of New IBC Tote & Drum Machinery

Encore Container, a leader in the plastic drums and IBC totes industry, recently invested in and installed two additional Kautex blow molding machines – one for 275 and 330 gallon tote bottles and one for 30, 35, and 57 gallon drums. This new equipment, along with the installation of a new plastic pelletizing line, will allow the company to double its capacity and meet its customers’ immediate demands for containers.

Chad Odom, CEO of Encore Container, said, “Totes and plastic drums are regularly in short supply and high demand, so expanding our production footprint gives us a huge competitive advantage. It allows us to respond quickly and come to the rescue when other suppliers can’t deliver.”

Odom continued, “We built our base from day one by being the fastest company in the industry.” This strategy has resonated well and resulted in rapid growth. With the new machinery in place, Encore Container anticipates 40 percent year-over-year growth from 2017 to 2018. Both machines are made by Kautex, widely considered the best equipment in the industry.

“Filling supply is half the battle,” Odom said. “We’re constantly shuffling logistics around to handle different emergencies, in some cases even delivering on the same day as the order gets placed. We’re able to do that because we run a nimble business. We don’t have excess layers of management and committees.”
