Columbia Packaging was formed in 1995 with the singular focus of providing glass container solutions for the wine, spirits, beer, ciders and new age beverage industries.

After a few short years they quickly became the Pacific Northwest’s premier glass supplier and expanded their service across Canada and into select U.S. markets.

In 1999 Columbia Packaging embarked on an ambitious strategy to integrate plastic containers and components into their product lines. They added new management, support staff and supply chain capabilities in addition to opening three key strategic distribution centers located in Vancouver, Montreal and California.
