Meese opens Florida plant
<![CDATA[

Meese, the container manufacturer based in Madison, Indiana, formerly known as Modroto, opened a new plant in Jacksonville, Florida, in June. The 50,000-square-foot plant is the fifth U.S. plant for Meese.

“The addition of the Jacksonville plant means we can reduce shipping costs for our Southeast customers while staying better connected to all of our customers throughout the U.S.,” Dan Rodriguez, national sales manager for Meese, says.

Meese also launched its new website at www.meese-inc.com in July and will soon add e-commerce capabilities.

The company’s name change to Meese, effective May 7, is a “nod to our company’s heritage and is just the beginning in our company’s plan for future growth,” J.R. Ryan, president of Meese, says.

Founded in 1931, Meese says it was the first rotomolder in North America to invest in fully automated rotational molding systems, adding two Leonardo machines in 2008. These rotomolding machines produce parts more efficiently with less waste and, combined with the ability to control extremely tight tolerances, the company says they produce more consistent parts than traditional rotomolding machines.

Meese’s line of Poly-trux, Bulk-trux, Shelf-trux, Utility-trux and Tilt-trux are built to serve specific hauling, transportation and storage needs of customers in a variety of industries such as laundry, recycling and materials handling. Its newest product lines include the Linen Locker, created for secure and safe indoor/outdoor collection of bulk items, as well as Food and Drug Administration- (FDA-) approved X-ray metal detectable containers for safer use in the food manufacturing industry along with the Pool Shot line of recreational products.

Additionally, Meese has certification for U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and California Air Resources Board (CARB) fuel tanks and its in-house engineering and design team can create custom designed products.
