HC Companies is investing in new equipment, technology, and staffing to help it ship containers to growers quicker than ever.

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced many green industry companies to re-evaluate their marketing strategies to stay relevant with how today’s evolving consumers choose to do business.

Despite a large variety of container options available, success is often more about the methods and the environment than the choice of containers.

The new 4.5-inch Square Quick Lock Pot and 6-inch Azalea Pot are produced at the company’s facilities in Twinsburg, OH.
