CT Manufacturing Company “PACT’S” A Patriotic Punch for Veterans
- Published: November 02, 2023
To honor the sacrifice of American servicemen and women for both Veterans Day and National Military Appreciation Month, Packaging and Crating Technologies, LLC (PACT) in Watertown, Conn. has announced a charitable partnership with the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) of Watertown. Throughout the month of November, the family-owned, moving container manufacturer will donate 1 percent of sales proceeds from its entire product line to the nonprofit organization whose purpose is to speed rehabilitation of the nation's disabled combat veterans, assist their families and provide education and community service.
“We have strong ties to the military as it’s a key business sector that uses our shipping and packaging containers when individual soldiers are moved from station to station,” said Rodger Mort, President of PACT. “It is our privilege to give back to the heroes and their families who have given our country so much by fundraising for America’s largest organization of combat veterans.”
Further, the company is a preferred vendor for the US Department of Defense and has been awarded a special permit from the US Department of Transportation for the shipping of lithium-ion batteries, as well as passed the proposed SAE-G-27 test standard.
“Our products are designed to meet overseas shipping requirements while keeping military equipment protected and dry,” adds Mort. “From submarine doors and firing systems to flight simulators and combat systems, we have built custom solutions for every need.”
Lastly, when products are ready to be disposed of, PACT’s containers can be brought to any recycling center or eco-friendly dumpster, unlike traditional wood crates, which can seldom be recycled and often come with hefty disposal fees.
“Whether it’s by purchasing one of our products, donating directly to a charity or participating in a local event, we encourage everyone to show their appreciation to the men and women in the armed forces during this month of thanksgiving,” said Mort.
