A Tradition of Excellence Since 1872

WHAT WE DO

Canbar was founded in 1872 as a manufacturer of high quality wood stave barrels for storing and shipping whisky and dry goods. The original business evolved over the decades into the manufacturer of wood stave tanks and pipelines and later into the production of rotationally molded products.

In 2000, RTS Companies Inc. was formed as a spinoff of the plastics division of Canbar. Since then, RTS Companies has grown its small plastics division into a well-known North American manufacturer of custom and proprietary molded plastic products.
