Our History
In 1989, our founder Paul Kerrigan began making industrial trash bags in a 3,000 square foot space in Brampton, Ontario. Since then his second-generation family-run company has evolved into a much larger operation.
Currently AlphaPoly has over 100 employees working in a 75,000 square feet plant serving Canada and the U.S.
A large part of our success comes from our willingness to provide more upfront service and consultation, more product options and more creative flexibility. All with greater speed and efficiency and without sacrificing quality.
