What Tosca Services does

Tosca Services, LLC is the largest reusable plastic container (RPC) pooler in North America, founded in 1959 and headquartered at 1175 Peachtree Street, Suite 1900, Atlanta, Georgia. The company operates a closed-loop pooling model in which it owns, tracks, washes, and recirculates standardized reusable crates, bulk bins, and pallets between shippers, distribution centers, and retail stores. Customers span mass, premium, and specialty grocers along with major egg, poultry, and produce producers, including Walmart, Kroger, Ahold Delhaize, HEB, Whole Foods, Wegmans, Loblaw, Wakefern, Cal-Maine Foods, Fieldale Farms, Brookshire Brothers, Ollie's Bargain Outlet, and Cultiva Farms.

Tosca's product platform centers on industry-specific reusable plastic containers engineered for produce, meat, seafood, dairy, eggs, and prepared-foods supply chains, supplemented by plastic pallets under the T-PAL brand, pallet dollies, point-of-purchase displays, and traceability infrastructure certified to ISO 22000. The October 2019 acquisition of Polymer Logistics added a European footprint and display-ready merchandising assets, while the March 2023 acquisition of Contraload NV added pallet pooling capability. The company has continued to deepen vertical specialization through partnerships and acquisitions, including the 6315 Specialty Egg RPC developed with Rehrig Pacific and Bristol Manufacturing's 640 cheese box division.

The business model is anchored in recurring pool fees on circulating RPC inventory, billed under multi-year, custom-priced contracts typically invoiced annually, with supplemental revenue from reusable packaging hardware sales and ancillary services such as automation consulting, pilot programs, and traceability tooling. Tosca Hub, the company's ordering platform, acts as the commercial and operational interface between shippers, retailers, and the pool. The firm employs 1,001-5,000 staff and operates as a privately held Delaware LLC.
