RTS Companies

What RTS Companies does

RTS Companies Inc. is a privately held North American manufacturer of custom and proprietary rotomolded plastic products, headquartered in St. Clements, Ontario with a second manufacturing facility in Austinburg, Ohio. The company was formed in 2000 as a spinoff of the plastics division of Canbar, which was originally founded in 1872 as a wood-stave barrel maker. RTS operates a portfolio of seven sub-brands serving distinct end markets: RTS Retail (kiddie shopping carts, cart corrals, dunnage racks, pallets), RTS Home Accents (rain barrels, planters, ParcelWirx drop boxes), CitrusWirx (sanitization wipes), RTS Play (commercial and residential playground equipment), Envirowirx (semi-underground waste containers), RTS Industrial Tank (industrial and agricultural storage tanks), and custom molding services for fuel tanks, hazardous chemical containment, and equipment housings.

Core production relies on rotational molding using computer-directed molding machines capable of producing large or unusually shaped products with uniform wall thickness, including double-wall construction for hazardous containment. Capabilities span design assistance, mold fabrication with short lead times, materials including polyethylene and fiberglass, spin welding, molded-in inserts and graphics, and assembly with UL, UN, and CSA certification support.

RTS sells through brand-specific e-commerce storefronts and quote-based direct sales with toll-free numbers for Canada and the USA. Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales of proprietary products and professional services revenue from custom molding work for industrial, agricultural, commercial, and transportation customers. Customers span enterprise accounts (e.g., Tim Hortons for retail equipment), industrial and agricultural operators, commercial playground installers, and residential consumers buying home and garden products. Pricing is opaque and quote-driven rather than published.
