Beginnings
Cratex Industrial Packing was founded in 1975 in North Vancouver, BC, by Joe Pusch — starting out of a rented space in an old wooden shed with a used table saw, a handful of tools, and a small crew of eager, capable carpenters.
Joe built Cratex on a foundation of integrity, craftsmanship, and customer service — values that still guide how we operate today, five decades and thousands of shipments later.
THE CRATEX JOURNEY
Over the following decades, Cratex grew steadily across the Lower Mainland, expanding our facilities to keep pace with demand before making the decision to refocus fully on our core strength: export packing and crating. In the 2010s, we moved into our current purpose-built facility in Delta, BC — close to the Port of Vancouver and the US border — giving us the space, equipment, in an ideal location to serve customers efficiently across Western Canada and beyond.
Today, with 50 years of experience behind us, Cratex remains Western Canada's trusted partner for export packing, crating, and logistics — built on the same attention to detail Joe delivered from that first humble wooden shed in 1975.
