Only sixteen years old when his parents bought the company, Bill was involved in the business from the beginning. Bill developed a thorough understanding of how the water business worked and quickly understood the potential of the industry. Many of the innovations and much of the company growth defining this period originated with Bill. Having been involved with the family business from a very early age, Bill Young provided significant corporate leadership to the company. One of those innovations was Plastipak, founded in 1967 to provide a needed solution to what had become a serious challenge—the heavy five-gallon jugs used to deliver water. With a full load of water in them, these five-gallon jugs weighed 50 pounds and required superior strength to manage. Plastic seemed the ideal solution. Bill negotiated a deal to buy plastic bottles for the company, then later determined that the smart way to guarantee a ready supply was to manufacture them in-house. From that idea, Plastipak was born and proved to be so beneficial that it stimulated much of the company's subsequent growth. Communicate and Achieve. Get In Touch With Us!
