Wilkinson's history is one filled with many achievements. During our long history beginning in 1948, Wilkinson has always been a leader in the development of new products which provide function and value to consumers.

From the development of the Wilkinson Wheelbarrow to the manufacturing of the first T.V. Dinner Tray and state of the art plastic containers, Wilkinson has lead the way in ingenious leadership and engineering.

Today, Wilkinson's dynamic growth reflects the knowledge learned from our history. Producing over 4.5 million containers each day, Wilkinson is demonstrating that with each new direction, accomplishments are earned.
