Spotlight on Our Victoria Texas Plant.

With annual production of 2,678,571,429 trash bags and 315 employees, the Victoria plant produces a wide range of Ruffies trash bags for the consumer. Built in 1990 with 190,000 square feet of manufacturing, reprocessing and warehousing space. This modern facility utilizes state of the art, computerized extrusion controls to insure continued high product quality.

During the past three years we have installed an additional nine blown film extrusion lines, one more reprocessing line and two new drawstring lines.

"Continued growth and innovation has been the direction the Victoria, TX facility has taken during the past three years" states Kevin Lorang, Victoria Plant Manger. Our newest patent pending product is the Ruffies Odor Control Baking Soda trash bags. They are produced in Victoria along with number one selling Ruffies Color Scents and Ruffies Sure Strength. Currently we are in the process of developing another new product to begin manufacturing in 2002.
