Elkhart Plastics, a Myers Industries Company, Adds E-Series to TUFF Line, Expanding Solutions for Secure Liquid Handling

AKRON, Ohio–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Elkhart Plastics, a leading rotational molder, has expanded its TUFF line with the new E-Seriesโ€”a durable, sustainable, and cost-effective IBC (Intermediate Bulk Container) engineered specifically to protect liquids during storage, transport, and dispensing.




Manufactured at the companyโ€™s Middlebury, Indiana, facility, the TUFF E-Seriesโ„ข 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 Baseโ€”Tough, impact-resistant base delivers protection against rigorous use and reduces replacement costs.
  • Optimized Drainageโ€”Sloped-bottom design yields 99.9% drainage, reducing product loss and waste.
  • Superior Valve Connectionโ€”TUFF LinQยฎ 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.

โ€œThe 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,โ€ said Cullen Jones, VP of Sales at Myers Industries. โ€œIt 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 valueโ€”setting a new standard for IBC performance in liquid handling.โ€

The E-Series is available for purchase directly from Elkhart or through the companyโ€™s dealer network.
