ABOUT US

Fox Valley Containers was established in 1986 and started by Don Brown. Don had been vice-president of Armstrong Containers, one of the premier paint can manufacturing companies in the U.S.

​

In late 1988, Don's son, David Brown joined his father in the business. With Dave's arrival the business took some new directions. Fox Valley Containers began handling LTL business and the distribution end of the business took hold. 

​

In 1993 Don's other son, Peter Brown joined the business. Pete's arrival brought much needed internal organization to the company, allowing Fox Valley to better handle the rapid expansion that was underway.

​

Since, we have grown into a regional company with multiple warehouse locations to service the greater part of the upper Midwest, as well as other staff members to support a growing customer base.

​

Fox Valley continues to expand and grow, and has added new product lines which includes many varieties of glass and plastic bottles to further round out our product line.

​

In October of 2021, Fox Valley was acquired by Kelso & Company and became a part of Novvia Group, a leader in high-quality packaging solutions and customized services with domestic and international customers across a myriad of industries.  Through its family of dynamic companies including Inmark, C.L.
