Rehrig Pacific Company

What Rehrig Pacific Company does

Rehrig Pacific Company is a fourth-generation, family-owned manufacturer of sustainable plastic packaging and material handling solutions, founded in 1913 and headquartered in Los Angeles, California. The company operates three divisions — Waste & Recycling, Supply Chain, and Direct Store Delivery — serving municipalities, waste haulers, large CPG/retail enterprises, beverage distributors, and agricultural customers. With 1,800+ employees and eight manufacturing facilities across the United States and Mexico, Rehrig Pacific produces roll-out carts, commercial containers, reusable plastic containers (RPCs), pallets, beverage crates, egg packaging, bakery trays, harvest crates, field bins, and the proprietary Fusion™ line of material handling sleds and lifts (Duo Lift, Hybrid Sled, GS Agile Sled, Delivery Cart). The portfolio was expanded in April 2024 with the acquisition of QTEK Design, adding automated pallet dispensing, exchanging, and storage equipment.

The company's proprietary technology platform, branded Vision®, integrates RFID tracking, computer-vision-based object recognition (VOR), GPS, and edge-to-cloud IoT architecture to provide container tracking, work order management, service verification, and inventory visibility for waste and supply chain operations. The platform has been documented — in an IoT Analytics Industry 4.0 case study — to reduce machine repair time from four days to two hours through connected diagnostics. Other IP includes the registered Fusion™ sled family, the VOR system, the Rehrig Financial Services captive financing arm, and an extensive portfolio of industrial container and crate designs. The company has been recognized on Fortune's Top 20 Manufacturing Companies list in 2021 and 2022 and has received Great Places to Work certification in 2022, 2023, and 2024.

Rehrig Pacific combines one-time hardware sales (containers, pallets, crates) with subscription-based Vision® software, professional services, and Rehrig Financial Services, which offers up to 100% equipment financing. The company sells primarily through a direct enterprise field sales force targeting municipalities, waste haulers, and large CPG/retail customers, supplemented by cooperative purchasing partnerships with Sourcewell and Omnia Partners for government procurement, and an OEM bin-manufacturing relationship with AutoStore for automated warehouse solutions. Named enterprise customers include Walmart, Coca-Cola Southwest, Anheuser-Busch, Pepsi Bottling Ventures, McLane, and Valley Wide Beverage. The company is led by CEO Will Rehrig, the great-grandson of founder Will Rehrig, with a board that includes external directors from Vermeer Corporation, DHL, McDonald's, and other large enterprises.
