Choosing Greenbridge: Unmatched Expertise and Reliability in Packaging Securement

In the world of protective packaging, Greenbridge stands out as a leader in providing comprehensive, industry-specific solutions. From its humble beginnings in 1974 as Polychem, the company quickly gained a reputation for offering the broadest line of polyester, polypropylene, and cord strapping in the industry. But Greenbridge is much more than a supplier of high-quality strapping products—it’s a company deeply committed to our customer, making us the go-to partner for organizations seeking reliable and sustainable packaging securement solutions.

A Legacy of Excellence and Innovation

Greenbridge’s journey began with a simple yet powerful mission: to provide the best strapping products to meet the diverse needs of the packaging industry. As Polychem, the company established itself as a leader by not only offering a broad range of polyester, polypropylene, and cord strapping but also by expanding its product line to include complementary tools, equipment, and accessories. This commitment to innovation and quality helped the company quickly gain a foothold in the industry.

In 1998, Polychem took a significant step towards sustainability by establishing Evergreen, its recycling division. This move was pivotal, as it allowed the company to produce rPET (recycled PET) and secure a steady supply of 100% recycled PET resin for its growing portfolio of strapping and cord. This not only ensured the availability of high-quality recycled materials but also created new markets for rPET and other recycled products, further solidifying the company’s commitment to sustainable practices.

Strategic Growth and Expansion

Over the years, Greenbridge has strategically expanded its product portfolio through a series of acquisitions that have significantly enhanced its capabilities and market reach. In 2003, the company acquired a majority interest in OMS Americas, the second-largest manufacturer of strapping systems globally. This acquisition brought advanced strapping technology and systems expertise to the company, allowing it to offer even more comprehensive solutions to its customers.

In 2019, Greenbridge acquired Dynaric, which added the capability to print on strap and increased production volume, further expanding the company’s offerings. The following year, the acquisition of Maillis, known for its jumbo coil capabilities, added more corner board options, power tools, equipment, and strap accessories to Greenbridge’s product line. These strategic acquisitions not only expanded Greenbridge’s product portfolio but also reinforced its position as a leading provider of end-of-line packaging solutions.

In 2021, the organization rebranded as Greenbridge, a name that reflects its commitment to sustainability and providing proactive solutions to customers across North America. This rebranding was not just a change in name but a natural evolution of the company’s mission and values, aligning its brand identity with its long-standing focus on recycling, advanced manufacturing, and customer support.
