Ahead of the game

摘要

Thanks to its innovative and customer-orientated approach, Myers Container is one US manufacturer that looks set to make the most of resurgent North American steel drum demand Since its founding in 1917, Myers Container has built up an enviable reputation as a forward-thinking manufacturer of steel drums. The company produces an extensive range of UN-approved tighthead and open top units with capacities ranging from 8 gallons (30 litres) up to 85 gallons (322 litres) in a variety of steel thicknesses as required by its customers. While CEO Kyle Stavig notes that the company "did see a dip in 2008", he reports that the North America steel drum market has now more or less returned to pre-recession levels.
