Sales Account Manager

**About Us**

Since 2003 our Team has excelled at designing, manufacturing, and wholesaling basic and decorative plastic planters servicing over 400+ greenhouses in North America and the UK. We service key National Retailers such as Home Depot, Walmart, Costco, Lowe’s, Loblaw Companies, Kroger, Canadian Tire, Menards, etc. As well as multiple independent garden centers and indoor fashion and outdoor décor markets.

We have steadily grown into an international team, harmoniously focused on innovation, design excellence, and exceptional customer service. We always strive to better ourselves and our partners.

We are leaders in plastic container manufacturing, setting an example when it comes to sustainability, innovation, and design. Our primary manufacturing process is injection mold and thermoform production.

Who would ever have guessed that injection molded plastic pots could master the art of illusion? That’s our kind of magic - whether it’s a “stone” pot that looks and feels as rustic as if from an Italian villa, or a glossy, cobalt “ceramic” pot that would look right at home in a modern gallery.

Our goal is to revolutionize the industry one pot at a time, and we strongly believe that collaboration is the key to success. Are you ready to join our team?
