Container Research Corporation (CRC) was founded at a time when the military packaging industry was reevaluating the practice of storing military equipment and hardware in wooden crates. There was a recognized need for a safer environment to accommodate high-value items shipped thousands of miles and often under hostile conditions. Three individuals that joined forces to meet that need were Stanley Rines, a manufacturing expert, William Swan, a professional engineer, and Nicholas Sclufer, a business industry leader and developer.

The founders of CRC combined their engineering backgrounds and years of experience in the military packaging field to meet the challenge of providing clients with safe and efficient shipping. Their solution was a sound one — replace the standard degradable frail wooden crate with a durable, lightweight metal container — make it reusable and integrate an efficient, shock-security design into the container to protect it from mishandling and abuse typically encountered on long journeys.
