That same year oil was discovered in Texas, The Chicago White Sox beat the Cleveland Blues 8 to 2 in the very first American League baseball game, and to the relief of men everywhere, Gillette introduces the disposable razor. It’s safe to say the world has changed since then. But one thing hasn’t; out commitment to constant improvement and unsurpassed customer satisfaction. Early 1900’s Mid 1900’s Late 1900’s 2000’s 1901 Bernard W. Norton establishes a small custom tool shop in Oakland, California, making custom-stamped metal parts for local industries. 1910 The company begins to serve the many small automobile manufacturers springing up along the West Coast. It would soon make parts for the first gyrocopters and mass-produced metal street signs. 1920 Norton Packaging is commissioned to manufacture license plates for the western United States and some of the Pacific Islands. 1939 Howard C. Norton (Bernard’s son) transitions the company from its original product lines into the mass production of steel pails. Leadership SCOTT NORTON Co-President GREG NORTON Co-President MARK NORTON Vice President JOE SCHRICK Plant Manager, CA JIM KOCH Plant Manager, IN TOM KENNY Quality Control Manager, IN EDDIE ARZOLA Quality Control Manager, CA JUSTIN CARLINO Director of Sales SCOTT TAYLOR Regional Sales Manager KATIE PEREZ Regional Territory Manager RODNEY FRIENSEHNER Quality Control Manager, GA Sustainability Responsible, sustainable sourcing and manufacturing are more than the right way to work. They’re the right thing to do. We’re leading the way with such innovations as lighter pails that use fewer source materials while maintaining the necessary strength and durability. Many of our smaller pails are manufactured using 25% post-consumer resins. And we’re actively involved in the effort to create pails that can be safely and cost-effectively recycled—preserving natural resources, reducing landfill, and preventing harmful environmental impact. Our Georgia manufacturing facility will replace power-hungry hydraulic equipment with clean-running, all-electric machinery. Additionally, we’ve strategically located many of our plants near rail hubs to take advantage of cleaner rail transport…thus reducing fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
