The CSC Quality Difference

We Manufacture Steel Pails Only This allows us to focus all of our resources towards making the best steel pail in the industry. Making the best steel pail does not happen by accident, it takes years of machinery upgrades and continually making improvements to our operating systems.

Technology and Innovation Center – At our Technical Center, all of our innovations, process improvements, new machinery, and machinery upgrades are designed and built with a large in-house staff of engineers, fabricators, and mechanics.

Highly Recognized UN Program – The majority of our steel pails products are used to package hazardous materials. As a result, we have focused on developing the safest, strongest steel pail in the industry. We offer a wide range of UN ratings and a variety of UN pail designs. In addition, we offer a special service for our customers on the proper UN selection and use of our closing instructions.

ISO Based Quality Management System – At the heart of our quality system is our desire to improve on our quality and products continually. The process starts with insisting on the highest quality materials from our suppliers. Then, we manufacture pails with the most innovative, well-maintained machinery in the industry. Maintaining tight quality standards requires constant learning and training. Our learning training program and plant audits are designed to ensure the values and standards we live by today will endure in the future.
