Three World War Two veterans founded Container Research Corporation (CRC) in 1956. At that time, there was an immediate need for metal containers to replace degrading wood boxes then in use by the military and commercial businesses. Stanley Rines, a manufacturing expert, William Swan, a professional engineer, and Nicholas Sclufer, a business entrepreneur and developer — combined their talents to meet that need.

The organization grew from a small, multi-building “mill” in Springfield, Pennsylvania and moved to its present location in Glen Riddle in 1963. The facilities were upgraded and expanded over the years to its 250,000 square foot plant .

The company has thrived on the development of a vast range of containers and other products primarily related to the aerospace industry and continues to be a leader in the field of engineering and manufacturing.

CRC is a well-respected veteran-owned, small business.

CRC is committed to a level of safety, reliability and technical competence on which industry and its clients can depend.
