About General Container

In 1947, General Container was founded by the Kapp family.

We are now in our third generation.

​We started as a drum recycler in Newark, NJ.

Due to market demand, we were able to expand our offerings to include a complete line of shipping, storage, and environmental compliance products.

It is our daily goal to deliver top quality service to every customer, every time, with packaging solutions that put your needs first and foremost. ​

We back this up with over 75 years of expertise.

We do business the old-fashioned way, a reliable constant in a rapidly changing world. 

We understand that respect is earned, honesty is appreciated, trust is gained, and loyalty is returned.

At General Container, we believe that people do business with someone because they choose to; not because they must. 
It’s the personal connection that makes the difference.​​
