AKRON, Ohio–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Elkhart Plastics, a leading rotational molder, has expanded its TUFF line with the new E-Series—a durable, sustainable, and cost-effective IBC (Intermediate Bulk Container) engineered specifically to protect liquids during storage, transport, and dispensing.
Manufactured at the company’s Middlebury, Indiana, facility, the TUFF E-Series™ helps businesses safeguard both regulated and non-regulated liquid materials across a range of commercial and industrial operations, from chemical manufacturing to waste management to water treatment.
Unlike traditional limited-use IBCs that generate excess packaging waste and recurring costs, the E-Series is a reusable alternative that delivers long-term performance and features:
- Rotomolded Base—Tough, impact-resistant base delivers protection against rigorous use and reduces replacement costs.
- Optimized Drainage—Sloped-bottom design yields 99.9% drainage, reducing product loss and waste.
- Superior Valve Connection—TUFF LinQ® Outlet Valve Connection is 30% stronger when tested against a comparable brand and features an integrated male cam-lock fitting with dust cap to protect against leaks and downtime.
“The new E-Series builds on the proven strengths of our TUFF line and gives customers a smarter way to protect, handle, and store liquid materials,” said Cullen Jones, VP of Sales at Myers Industries. “It also reflects our commitment to innovation and quality. Reusable, environmentally responsible, and economically viable, the E-Series cuts waste, lowers costs, and delivers long-term value—setting a new standard for IBC performance in liquid handling.”
The E-Series is available for purchase directly from Elkhart or through the company’s dealer network.
