A.R.
Arena Associates was founded by Tony Arena in 1984 as a manufacturers'
representative agency selling custom plastic parts for industrial
packaging and material handling. Arena Associates sold packaging made from
virtually every plastic process including expanded polystyrene bead
molding, extrusion, thermoforming, injection molding, structural foam and
rotational molding.
A.R. Arena Associates evolved into a systems
integrator supplying custom material handling systems through in-house
application engineering and design. The focus was always, and continues to
be, designing and creating optimum solutions for Arena customers.
In 1988, Arena Associates began to focus its application
development and marketing strengths on the challenge of developing
proprietary material handling products and systems. In a strategic
alliance with GE Plastics, Arena began creating packaging systems using
high performance, engineering thermoplastics.

Tony Arena's past
selling success, his marketing-driven approach and extensive product and
industry knowledge, supported his willingness to take the risks associated
with the next evolution of Arena Associates.
In 1989, A.R. Arena
Associates became A.R. Arena Products, Inc., reflecting the shift from a
service company to a product company, which used high-end engineering
plastics in an industry where low-priced commodity plastics were the norm.
These materials, coupled with a strong vision of optimizing customers'
solutions, soon differentiated Arena Products from its competitors.
What began as a new concept in shipping has today become an industry standard. By first offering an all-plastic, collapsible, 330 gallon transport tote in 1991, A.R. Arena Products, Inc. has become a leading manufacturer. Today, Arena Products specializes in high performance plastic containers which are both returnable and recyclable, helping manufacturers increase productivity while reducing waste and costs. The Arena 330 Shipper has revolutionized the shipping of liquids, semi-liquids and bulk solids.
