Businesses in this segment include North America-based Buckhorn, a leading manufacturer of reusable bulk containers and totes; Akro-Mils, a leader in plastic bins and storage systems; and Myers do Brasil, which produces bulk containers and totes for agriculture and manufacturing markets in the region.
