About Us

Environment - Modern stainless steel technology and protection of the environment go hand in hand. Stainless steel combines a wide spectrum or outstanding technical properties in addition to protecting precious natural resources and being completely recyclable.

Quality - Black Forest's extensive experience in working with stainless steel provides them with unmatched technical knowledge, quality in welding, formation, and deep drawn product lines. Stainless steel is unmatched and unequaled in protecting your valuable liquid chemical assets.

Value - Black Forest's fully recyclable containers offer a lifetime of use, and a substantial future value. Unlike plastic vessels which have a short life expectancy, cannot safely hold pressure, and are costly to dispose of, stainless steel containers can be used for 20 years or more and can easily be rededicated for new products, or scraped as a raw material asset.

Black Forest is a North American leader in distributing closed loop, custom equipment, multi-trip stainless steel packaging systems. We are devoted to meeting the unique needs of companies in the Pharmaceutical and Biotech industries for liquid material transport, processing and storage. Capabilities include full-service design, development, production and service, for customers requiring standard or custom systems. Leasing programs, custom package design and technical consulting is also available.

Manufactured of premium stainless steel, Black Forest containers are safe, durable, reusable and economical and backed by superior customer service. Safety specifications for hazardous materials require an inert atmosphere that can be achieved by nitrogen blanketing. Black Forest products allow the benefits of nitrogen blanketing for inert atmospheres to reduce the risk of fire when transporting flammable liquids (Class 3 products), provide a moisture-free environment (i.e. - anahydrous products), and eliminate airborne bacterial contaminants and chemical preservatives.
