An Aerosol Packaging Provider You Can Count On
As one of the largest global aerosol cleaner providers, CRC chooses Sonoco for our unmatched supply assurance and rapid custom-turn solutions that keep stockouts—and the penalties that come with them—off the table.
Sonoco remains the aerosol partner of choice in the U.S. with a strategic operational footprint, advanced technology, subject matter experts and investments in continued growth.
Why It Worked
Sonoco became a natural partner for CRC thanks to shared values and open dialogue between key leaders.
With the goal of elevating CRC’s packaging and delivering superior technical service, the two organizations have built on their shared foundation of best-in-class quality, long-standing trust, and deep alignment with CRC’s markets to support ongoing success.
CRC doesn’t just select suppliers to fill an order, they look for partners who can help them deliver on the bigger promises made to their customers: sustainability, safety, reliability, and performance. That’s why Sonoco is proud to be among CRC’s trusted circle of suppliers, carrying forward their legacy of responsibility and innovation.
Delivering When It Matters Most
Agility in Action
When CRC needed custom packaging on a short timeline, Sonoco worked alongside an affiliated vendor to make it happen — not just meeting the deadline, but boosting CRC’s production to keep pace with fast-changing retailer demands.
Lower Risk, Greater Confidence
Empty shelves can trigger penalties, damage retailer relationships, and break consumer trust. With a redundant manufacturing network, Sonoco helped CRC protect its reputation and keep shelves stocked.
