Mobile B.WAY to GO

In 1875, a private family business owned by William Vogel of Brooklyn, New York, began making tin plate pots, pie plates, cuspidors and other household products.

That humble operation would go on to become the company you know today, BWAY Corporation. A leader in rigid packaging, BWAY has more than 100 patents, over 300 products, 4,000 employees, 1,500 customers and 26 manufacturing facilities, and produces over 1.5 billion parts annually.

BWAY’s rich heritage can be traced to its focus on creating value for customers and strategic growth. Through acquisitions such as Ropak Packaging, Central Can Co., NAMPAC and Milton Can Co., to name a few, and BWAY’S large distribution network, the company has grown into a market leader with annual sales exceeding $1.5 billion.

After 140 years of growth and diversification, innovation has remained at the core of what we do every day. From introducing the first United Nations-rated steel pail to developing the first gasket-free cover and commercializing pails that incorporate up to 50 percent post-consumer resin, our combination of innovation and excellence has earned us wide recognition.

Our 19th century roots were history in the making then, and our 21st century vision is history in the making now. For a more detailed journey through BWAY’s successes, view our timeline below. Support at [email protected].
