US Merchants

What US Merchants does

US Merchants is a vertically integrated contract packaging, injection molding, and logistics provider serving major US retailers, warehouse clubs, and consumer goods companies. Founded in 1979 by Jeff Green as a small sporting goods shop in Beverly Hills, the company pivoted in 1983 into warehouse-club distribution and progressively built out in-house capabilities across thermoforming (1998), injection molding (2014), proprietary trucking (Greenline Transportation, 2004), and retail-ready pallet programs (1995, patented). It operates four solution pillars — contract packaging, injection molding solutions, logistics and warehousing, and packaging and distribution solutions — supported by sub-brands GreenMade (proprietary USA-made plastic storage totes) and Greenline Transportation.

The company's industrial technology base centers on hundreds of LS Mtron injection molding machines ranging from 390-ton to 2,000-ton capacity, CAD/CAM design and CNC mold-making, thermoforming, blending and filling lines, and 5M+ sq ft of warehouse space across 16+ facilities in California, Arizona, Texas, Virginia, Canada, and the UK. Recent technology additions include the SPTek ECLIPSE biodegradable additive (licensed May 2025), which enables plastic products to bio-assimilate within 6–24 months in landfill conditions. Operations are managed through ERP and EDI integrations but do not involve disclosed AI/ML capabilities.

US Merchants generates revenue through four streams: sale of proprietary injection-molded products (GreenMade hardware sales), contract packaging and co-packing services (professional services), custom injection molding and thermoforming for third parties, and managed logistics and transportation via Greenline. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company serves over 100 enterprise customers including Walmart, Target, Costco, Sam's Club, Staples, Lowe's, Amazon, and Office Depot, reporting a 99+% client retention rate and 100% on-time delivery rate. It is privately held by the Green family, operates under the GreenCorp, LLC holding company (rebranded June 2024 from US Merchants Holdings), and discloses over $1B in annual revenue.
