Skolnik Industries

Acquisition in 2025
SKOLNIK is a "specialized" manufacturer of carbon steel drums and stainless steel drums for highly valued contents. From custom wine barrels to drums for hazardous materials (hazmat) and dangerous goods, we are a leader in specialty packaging. Unlike other steel drum manufacturing companies, SKOLNIK offers unique innovation, creativity and genuine dedication to service that no one else in the industry can claim. For those who are already familiar with SKOLNIK's extensive mix of products, special services, knowledgeable staff and incredible hospitality, SKOLNIK hopes that their continuous improvements demonstrate the value of a Skolnik purchase.
