Having led the way in the circular economy for over 100 years, Rehrig Pacific’s history is built on reusable, sustainable, solution-based products and services. Beginning their journey in Los Angeles, California, Rehrig Pacific expanded to include eight manufacturing facilities across North America, providing some of the shortest freight lanes for their customers. Their organization’s proven success comes from focusing on the needs of their customers’ customer, integrating technology to eliminate waste, enhancing the consumer experience, continually delivering solutions that are simple and easy to implement, and providing ideas that are driven by a relentless commitment to sustainability.
Rehrig Pacific is dedicated to the values, mission, and unique culture that they’ve embraced within their organization and look forward to not only bringing LA team members to the Buckeye plant, but also adding new family members from the Buckeye community to the team. The organization works hard to create an environment that celebrates each employee for their unique gifts and strengths and supports one another throughout their journey. In fact, their team fosters a working environment where employees are their authentic selves and know that they are viewed as integral members of the Rehrig Pacific Family. Notably, Rehrig Pacific is a proud recipient of the Great Places to Work award for the past three years, including making Fortune Magazine’s list of the top 20 companies in manufacturing for 2021 and 2022.
