The Cary Co., an Addison, Illinois-based packaging company, has acquired Quality Container LLC of Salt Lake City. Quality Container is industrial container distributor specializing in drums, pails, cans and bottles. This acquisition extends the Cary Co.’s geographical coverage into the Intermountain and West Coast regions of the U.S.

“We are very excited for this great opportunity of growth, expanding our product line and reaching more customers. We share a commitment of customer service and providing ‘quality containers,’” said Dan Busche, president of Quality Container.

“The acquisition of Quality Container helps strengthen our industrial product mix, while partnering with a company that has similar values,” said T.J. Tyrrell, vice president of Cary. “We are excited to add on all of their dedicated personnel and we look forward to growing the business together through this geographic and strategic expansion.”

The Cary Co. said it will leverage its sales, marketing and e-commerce expertise to work with Quality Container’s team in Utah, “ensuring the same distinguished customer service experience customers of both companies have come to expect.”
