About Us

Founded in 1964 in Toledo, Ohio, Bay Corrugated Container is a family owned corrugated manufacturing company, that has grown into a multidimensional manufacturer of corrugated products. Our corporate headquarters is located on 20.5 acres in Monroe, Michigan. Bay Corrugated Container serves customers in the automotive, furniture, food, home accessories, and home appliance industries. Bay Corrugated Container has earned and continues to earn an outstanding reputation for providing quality service and on-time delivery at reasonable prices.

With our experienced sales, design, and development staffs, and over 45 years of experience in the packaging industry, Bay Corrugated is uniquely qualified to partner with our customers in designing the most efficient packaging and finding solutions to new challenges. We work with our customers to identify ways to achieve cost savings through the design or redesigning of corrugated cartons. Once the design is agreed upon, Bay Corrugated Container then manufactures the carton using the most modern technology and manufacturing processes to provide superior products.

Bay Corrugated Container’s attention to detail and total customer satisfaction doesn’t end with the manufacturing of the product. By owning a fleet of trucks and trailers, Bay Corrugated Container controls the delivery of our products to the customer. Orders are shipped according to the customer’s schedule which ensures that customers will have their orders at the time they specify. Bay Corrugated Container is ISO 9001:2008 Registered, SFI Certified, HACCP Certified and has achieved an Excellent rating on the American Institute of Baking’s Non‐food Contact Packaging Standards. With the support of our in‐house Quality Assurance, Customer Service, Design & Engineering, and Information Systems teams we strive daily to meet and exceed expectations.

Maintaining a clean environment is very important to our company and we utilize several internal systems to support that effort. Water used in production is cleaned before it is returned to the city sanitation system; we maintain an air filtration system to improve the air quality in the production areas and to alleviate dust build up on equipment; return scrap to a supplying mill to recycle; utilize recycled liners and medium where possible; use high efficiency lighting to cut down on our use of electricity and we maintain our property, sustaining a pleasing appearance.

Bay Corrugated Container is a minority- and women-owned organization and has been certified with the MMSDC, SCOMSDC, and CMSDC as a Hispanic owned company. We recognize the importance of diversity in the marketplace, and in our workforce, and we are proud of our minority certifications. With our people and the various systems that we employ, we are able to continually improve and keep our customers satisfied.

Pallet Block – Adds strength and durability to your pallet
Pallet Tray – To accommodate small product groups
Collapsible Pallet Box – Effectively holds heavier items

The Bay Corrugated Pallet is available in a variety of sizes to meet most shipping and storage needs, designed to effectively accommodate smaller product groups, revolutionizing the way your company ships its wares.

SFI Fiber Sourcing Certification

There are two ways to achieve fiber sourcing certification:

Primary Producers – manufacturers sourcing more than half of their fiber directly from the forest.
Secondary Producers – such as furniture manufacturers or printers sourcing more than half of their fiber from secondary sources. This includes verification that at least 2/3 of the supply comes from primary producers certified according to the SFI fiber sourcing requirements.

Bay Corrugated is considered a Secondary Producer. 100% of our paper is purchased from responsible fiber sources.

Community

Bay Corrugated Container is involved in the Adopt-a-Road program in Monroe County. During the holiday season Bay employees organize donations for the Adopt-a-Family program. Our company has made product and monetary donations to many organizations in and around Monroe County, and participates in Relay for Life events.

Environment

Bay Corrugated Container recycles scrap and uses recycled liners and medium in its products. Water used in production is passed through a filtration system prior to its return to the
city sanitation facility. A dust collection system is utilized in our facility to create cleaner air quality and reduce build-up on the equipment.

High efficiency lights have been installed to reduce energy consumption. Our property is well maintained to demonstrate a pleasing appearance and commitment to our environment.
We are Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) Certified, which shows we purchase our materials from responsible sources.

Leadership

Connie S. Reuther, Chairman and CEO of Bay Corrugated Container, Inc., has been at the helm since 2006. Bay Corrugated, has a 450,000 square foot facility and provides an incredibly diverse array of corrugated packaging products using the most up-to-date technology and equipment. Bay Corrugated has been successful at providing on-time delivery, quality products, and excellent customer service, while always looking for continuous improvements for its customers.

During the economic downturn, Bay Corrugated found itself in a position to successfully move into other markets such as the food industry and consumer products. By diversifying
its client base, Bay Corrugated was able to maintain a stable environment for its customers and employees. Reuther has taken full advantage of networking events and trade shows to create a steady increase in business in a downward environment.

Bay Corrugated recognizes the importance of community involvement. Through the contribution of time, products, and other resources, Bay Corrugated has assisted area schools, various children’s clubs, local churches, and other organizations in its area. Reuther is currently participating in the Project One Module and has served on the Honorary Committee for
the Minority Business Leadership Awards Dinner with the NMSDC. With a strategic alliance in place with another MBE, Bay Corrugated realizes the importance of doing business with
other MBE’s. Bay Corrugated has significantly increased its own minority spend in the past few years.
