Bradford InnoPACK™ History

What is today Bradford InnoPACK™ began in the early 1990s with a strategic decision by Crawford Packaging Inc. President Clarence Covey to expand into the reusable, returnable packaging market to meet the automotive industry's growing demand for rack and dunnage systems. Expressing a desire to become a Total Solutions Provider, offering both disposable and returnable protection systems for customers, Mr. Covey turned the Company's efforts towards developing what would become the Custom Products Division (CPD). Initially selling containers and container systems the Customer Products Division expanded into custom development of the internal dunnage systems for those containers. The division grew rapidly adding staff and equipment and eventually, in order to accommodate growing demand, moved into its own facility in 1997. As the division's reputation for innovation, creativity and service grew so did its client base to the point where double digit growth became the norm.

In 2004 the Company restructured and re-branded its existing divisions. The Custom Products Division became Crawford InnoPACK™ while the facility supply division became Crawford SuppyLINE ™.As part of a larger company, each division benefits from considerable economies and synergies but is able to focus on the development of innovative and effective cost reduction programs designed to meet the unique needs of their customers and market.

In 2011, Bradford Company acquired Crawford Packaging's InnoPACK division. The new enterprise was renamed Bradford InnoPACK. The new company builds on strong reputation that InnoPACK earned in the designing and manufacturing of material handling systems by combining it with the resources that Bradford Company offers.

Today, Bradford InnoPACK™ is one of North America's fastest growing suppliers in the returnable packaging industry. From concept to completion InnoPACK's experienced design and engineering team conceive, engineer, fabricate and assemble creative solutions designed to meet specifications for performance, durability and cost effectiveness. When deadlines are tight InnoPACK's team keeps products moving with on time, on budget, solutions for the industry's returnable packaging challenges.
