ORBIS Corp., a manufacturer of plastic recycling bins and organic barrels, has purchased its second dunnage supplier in less than a month.
ORBIS has acquired Hinkle Manufacturing of Perrysburg, Ohio. Hinkle serves the automotive market with highly engineered custom dunnage designed for part protection. Hinkle also operates a thermoforming plant in Dearborn, Mich., where it produces trays and other plastic components. Founded in 1962, Hinkle employs 125 at its two locations.
