Plastic Bottles Inc. was founded in 1983 by Jack Terhaar. After running a successful blow molding operation for many years, he decided to form PBI as a manufacturer representative selling not only bottles, but caps and pails.
At that time, PBI mostly serviced those in the Buffalo area. Today, PBI, which is still owned by the Terhaar family, has grown to service hundreds of customers coast to coast and internationally.
We represent over 150 different manufacturers of almost any type of packaging your business may require. When purchasing from PBI, the minimum quantities are restricted only by case count on many items. So whether you are a start up company buying your packaging by the case, or an established business purchasing by the truckload, we have the capabilities to accommodate your requirements.
WAREHOUSE DISTRIBUTION
PBI maintains a 20,000 square foot facility located conveniently near the Buffalo Airport and is easily accessible from all of the major interstate highways.
It is here that we are able to maintain an inventory of many standard packaging needs, ready to be shipped to you at no lengthy lead time delays. Usually orders placed with our order department are processed and shipped within one business day (based upon availability).
Our own trucks are available for delivery throughout the Western New York.
At the PBI distribution center, we also give the logistical support for our PBI DIRECT inventory management and JIT ordering system for those customers that would like us to maintain and warehouse their packaging inventory for them.
