This profile examines the supplier identified in the brief as SCHÜTZ and focuses on the industrial packaging systems described in the supplied company and US packaging pages. It separates supplier statements from independent checks; no independent verification, certificate check, factory inspection, or commercial quotation review is documented in the supplied material.
Company overview
On its global company page, SCHÜTZ describes itself as an international manufacturer of industrial packaging systems and says it offers IBCs, drums and jerrycans [1]. The same page lists broader activities in industrial services, composites under the CORMASTER brand, and energy systems [1]. The packaging page also states that its products and services help customers reuse packaging and reduce the use of virgin materials [1]. The US packaging page presents SCHÜTZ US as a source of information about its North American activities, IBCs, drums, components and spare parts, and the SCHÜTZ TICKET SERVICE for used IBC collection and reconditioning [2].
The supplied sources identify two names that should not be conflated without confirmation: Schütz GmbH & Co. KGaA at a Selters, Germany address on the global company page [1], and Schütz Container Systems, Inc. at a North Branch, New Jersey address on the US packaging page [2]. The relationship between these entities is implied by shared branding and page context but is not fully documented in the supplied material. Buyers should confirm the legal entity that would issue a quotation, invoice, and product documentation.
This is an incomplete research draft for commercial sourcing. The sources support a high-level description of stated product families and published contact routes, but they do not provide pricing, MOQs, lead times, certification lists, full production-site details, or India-specific operations. No independent quality or identity check is documented.
Company information

Products, services, and capabilities
The supported offering is mixed: packaging products, packaging-related services, and adjacent business lines. The table separates what the source states from what a buyer must confirm. No source supplies full specifications, options, or commercial terms.
| Offering or process | What the source states | What to confirm for your order |
|---|---|---|
| IBCs, including ECOBULK and RECOBULK | The US page lists ECOBULK and RECOBULK under IBCs and describes them as packaging solutions for supply chains [2]; the global page lists IBCs as part of packaging systems [1]. | Confirm model, capacity, material construction, fittings, required performance documentation, compatibility with contents, reconditioning eligibility, and availability by destination. |
| Drums | The US page states that drums are offered in PE or steel [2]. | Confirm size, closure, lining, material grade, test requirements, and order quantity. |
| Jerrycans | The global page includes jerrycans in its packaging systems range [1]. | Confirm size, material, closures, marking or printing options, and minimum order. |

| Composites | The global page describes CORMASTER-brand lightweight honeycomb materials and fibre composites for applications including aerospace [1]. | Confirm product forms, specifications, and whether quoting is through the packaging entity or another unit. |
| Energy systems | The global page lists heating oil and surface heating systems [1]. | Confirm relevance to the inquiry and the correct business unit. |
What the sources do not establish
- No specific dimensions, capacities, weights, materials for individual IBC, drum or jerrycan models, closure types, or printing and labeling methods are provided.
- No MOQ, price, lead time, delivery term, sample policy, tooling charge, or customization process is stated.
- No certificate, test report, approval, or quality-management standard is listed in the supplied excerpts.
- No India location, distributor, stock point, or local service capability is documented. Absence of such information is not proof that the supplier lacks it; it must be asked.
Locations and production scope
The global company page gives a Selters, Germany address and refers to worldwide activities and global sites of the international SCHÜTZ Group [1]. The US packaging page gives a North Branch, New Jersey address for Schütz Container Systems, Inc. as its US headquarters and says its sites are located throughout the USA [2]. The page also includes a news headline about investment in an IBC production facility at BASF’s main plant, but the supplied snippet does not provide a site address or enough operational detail to treat that as a confirmed production location for a buyer’s order [2].
Documented addresses in the sources are headquarters or company addresses unless the source explicitly says otherwise. The supplied material does not identify which plant, warehouse, or service center would fulfill an order; whether all product families are made in-house; which stages may be outsourced; or whether goods for a particular market are supplied from Germany, the USA, or another country. Buyers should ask for the proposed shipping point, country of origin, and service coverage in writing. No India-specific site or capability is identified in the supplied sources.
Order information and quotation preparation
The supplied pages do not publish prices, MOQs, lead times, sample terms, tooling or setup charges, delivery conditions, or customization limits. The following checklist is therefore a request for confirmation, not a statement that the supplier offers each item.
- Legal entity and destination: Name the entity that would quote and invoice; state the delivery address and country, including any India destination.
- Product family: Specify IBC, drum, jerrycan, component or spare part, collection or reconditioning, or another listed business line.
- Specification: Provide capacity or dimensions, material, closure or fitting type, contents, required compatibility, and any handling or transport constraints.
- Marking and print: State whether labels, printing, embossing, or other identification are required; ask which options are available.
- Order and repeat volume: Give initial quantity, expected annual or repeat volume, and whether a trial order is required.
- Samples and approval: Ask whether a sample or pre-production approval is available, what it costs, and what specification it confirms.
- Commercial terms: Request unit price basis, currency, MOQ, lead time, Incoterms or delivery terms, packaging, and any setup or tooling charge.
- Documentation: Request product drawings, material data, test reports, certificates relevant to the product and destination, and batch traceability information.
- Service work: For reconditioning or collection, ask for acceptance criteria, documentation, transport responsibility, and regional coverage.
Quality, samples, and certificate information
Not provided / Not checked. The supplied source excerpts do not list a certificate, issuing body, certificate number, scope, expiry date, quality-management standard, sample policy, or inspection process. The company page refers to a SCHÜTZ SHEQ policy and a management system [1], but the excerpt does not supply the policy text, certification evidence, or an independent confirmation. This profile does not treat that reference as proof of certification for any product or site.
Before ordering, a buyer should request product-specific evidence rather than a general company statement: the relevant certificate or test report with scope and validity; material and compatibility data; dimensional drawings; sampling and approval terms; production and traceability arrangements for the proposed site; and any destination-specific documentation. For packaging used with regulated or hazardous contents, the buyer should confirm the exact performance standard and documentation required and ask the supplier to state which product families and sites are covered.
Evidence and information gaps
The available material consists of two supplier web pages: a global company page and a US packaging page [1][2]. They support a high-level description of the company, selected product families, some contact details, and a US headquarters address. They do not provide an independently verified company registration, ownership chart, complete site list, plant capacity, staff or turnover figures, customer references, certification register, price list, MOQ, lead time, or India market presence.
Identity needs confirmation because the sources use both Schütz GmbH & Co. KGaA and Schütz Container Systems, Inc. The profile keeps them as related names documented in the sources but does not assert that one entity is the contracting party for every market. The supplied snippets also contain labels without values—such as employees and turnover—and promotional language that has not been independently assessed. No audit, factory visit, sample review, certificate check, or quotation review is documented. The profile should be treated as a research draft requiring source and identity confirmation before publication or procurement use.
Next steps for a buyer
- Confirm the correct legal entity, sales contact, and fulfillment country for your destination using the published contact routes [1][2].
- Send a specification-led RFQ that separates IBCs, drums, jerrycans, components, and service work; do not rely on a general product-family description.
- Ask for product-specific drawings, material data, certificates, test reports, sample terms, MOQ, lead time, and delivery terms in one comparable format.
- For reconditioned or serviced IBCs, confirm acceptance criteria, documentation, transport responsibility, and regional coverage before comparing offers.
- If India delivery is required, ask explicitly about import arrangements, local support, stock, and after-sales responsibility; the supplied sources do not document an India location.
