Our Story

The easiest solution for your container needs is one that combines superior container quality with complete life-cycle service. Everything purchased from Myers Container is collectible for reuse or recycling. CEO Kyle Stavig, his brothers, and everyone at Myers Container share the vision of operating an innovative and sustainable company.

In 2007, the Stavig brothers acquired Myers Container and Container Management Services, the fourth generation of the family-owned business dating back to 1917.  General Steel Drum of Charlotte, North Carolina was acquired by the Stavigs in February of 2011 and continues to operate independently under its own name and entity.  In September 2018, the Stavigs added North Coast Container in Ohio, also operating under its own name. Collectively, the companies are all brands of Stavig Group.
