California Container Company has developed innovative, 100% recyclable fiber drums with a range of standard diameters for the storage and shipping of both wet and dry products.

Work With Us

Formally founded in 2021, California Container Company has actually been perfecting the drum manufacturing process over the past decade. Our fiber drums have the same strength, stocking capacity, and temperature consistency as metal and plastic drums, with the advantage of being measurably lower in cost and 100% recyclable.

California Container Company is operated by the same management team of Morning Star Tomato Company. With a proven track record and a solid reputation for honesty and integrity, fostered by Morning Star’s founder, Chris Rufer, the team here at California Container Company prides ourselves on creating the highest level of commitment, cultivating a reputation of honesty and integrity.

We strive to be your supplier of choice by delivering superior customer value through our dedication to:

  1. providing a reliable supply of consistent high-quality drum products,
  2. performing highly attentive value-added customer service, and
  3. sustainable pricing through innovation and scale.

We enjoy the backing and support, and well-rounded experience and expertise, of a 50+ year old enterprise and the colleagues that come with it.

Depend on us to deliver the partner-like customer experience you hope to find in all of your business relationships.
