Member Spotlight🔦: Sterilite Corporation   We're excited to highlight one of our valued members, Sterilite Corporation, located in Davenport, IA. As the largest plastic housewares company in North America, Sterilite's innovative and distinctive products help you "keep it together" like no other. Their broad product line includes everything from food storage containers and laundry/utility products to home storage and organization solutions in every shape, size, and color.   MRA’s Executive Director for Western Illinois & Iowa, Mitch Thomas, recently had an amazing visit to their local production facility. The facility is a massive 2.5 million sq.ft. on 57 acres, large enough to fit 13 football fields inside. The tour, led by Lori Bassow, Human Resources Manager, covered 1.55 miles and yet didn't encompass the entire facility! One of the unique features of the facility is the use of bicycles with baskets to travel around. 🚲   Join us in celebrating the impressive scale and innovation of Sterilite Corporation!
