about us

Plastic Bottles Inc. was founded in 1983 by Jack Terhaar. After running a successful blow molding operation for many years, he decided to form PBI as a manufacturer representative selling not only bottles, but caps and pails.

At that time, PBI mostly serviced those in the Buffalo area. Today, PBI, which is still owned by the Terhaar family, has grown to service hundreds of customers coast to coast and internationally.

We represent over 150 different manufacturers of almost any type of packaging your business may require. When purchasing from PBI, the minimum quantities are restricted only by case count on many items. So whether you are a start up company buying your packaging by the case, or an established business purchasing by the truckload, we have the capabilities to accommodate your requirements.

Our products

Bottles

At PBI, we pride ourselves on the vendor relationships we have developed over the years with molders across the country. This allows us to offer our customers a selection of bottles, jars and containers of almost endless design styles and capacities to suit the requirements of your product. 

Pails and Bulk Containers

PBI maintains a constant inventory of pails from 1 to 6 gallon capacities. We offer gasket and non-gasket lids as well as lids with or without a pour spout. These items are available on a per bundle basis and ready to ship immediately. PBI also carries 5 gallon tight head containers if needed.

Sprayers and Dispensing Caps

If your product requires a sprayer or dispensing cap of any type, PBI stocks many common sizes of finger pumps, trigger sprayers and caps. We can also provide custom colors for you on these items on a special order basis.

Labels and Decorating

We can provide you with the labeling you require whether its sleeve labeling, pressure sensitive or silk screening that gives you the look you desire.

Caps and Closures

PBI represents some of the most reliable cap and closure manufacturers in the industry. Depending on your specific application we can recommend the correct cap, finish and liner for your package. Many of the more common sizes and liners are kept in stock at our distribution center available to you on a case lot basis and able to ship within one (1) business day of your order.

Variety of Materials

We also offer a variety of materials for your packaging, such as: HDPE, LDPE, PVC, PET, POLY PROPOLEYNE and GLASS. You can feel free to get in touch with one of our experts to help you determine which material best suits your need(s). We can also assist you in coming up with your own design to make your product truly unique.

warehouse distribution

PBI maintains a 20,000 square foot facility located conveniently near the Buffalo Airport and is easily accessible from all of the major interstate highways.

It is here that we are able to maintain an inventory of many standard packaging needs, ready to be shipped to you at no lengthy lead time delays. Usually orders placed with our order department are processed and shipped within one business day (based upon availability).
