History

Over 35 Years of Bulk Packaging Innovation

Founded by Colin Stephens, who adapted and launched the European bag-in-box service model in North America in 2005, Tote Solutions was established to solve unfulfilled operational needs in liquid intermediate bulk container logistics.

Today, backed by more than 35 years of combined liquid handling expertise, our versatile range of collapsible IBCs, high-barrier bag liners, and specialized dispensing equipment enables us to offer the most adaptable, reliable, and efficient packaging solutions available on the market.
