Talus Holdings announces the creation of Basin Industries, a unified platform for complete custom packaging and material handling solutions

Talus Holdings is proud to announce the creation of Basin Industries, a strategic platform that brings together complementary businesses, decades of expertise and a broad range of custom packaging capabilities under one unified brand.

Built through the combination of Basin Material Handling, Gateway Manufacturing Inc., Delaware Valley Box and Lumber and other specialized capabilities developed across the organization, Basin Industries gives manufacturers, retailers, military customers and other organizations one experienced partner for their material handling and protective packaging needs.

The new platform represents the next stage in the growth of a business that began with deep expertise in custom metal racks and containers. Through the acquisitions of VCI, Steeltech Partners, GEM Equipment & Manufacturing, Gateway Manufacturing and Delaware Valley Box and Lumber, Basin Industries has steadily added new materials, services and geographic reach.

Today, the combined organization can design and deliver custom packaging in steel, aluminum, wood, corrugated cardboard and plastic, along with foam and other specialized dunnage. That expanded portfolio allows customers to select the right material for each application rather than adapting their requirements to the limited capabilities of a single supplier.

One partner for complex packaging challenges

For customers, the creation of Basin Industries makes it easier to solve packaging and material handling challenges from beginning to end. The platform’s capabilities include:

  • Custom metal racks, containers and wheeled carts
  • Wood crates, skids and export packaging
  • Corrugated boxes, inserts and collapsible containers
  • Reusable plastic pallets made with recycled material
  • Custom foam, blocking, bracing and protective dunnage
  • Military-specification packaging and crating
  • Engineering design, prototyping and production support
  • On-site reviews, packing and service
  • Inspection, documentation and quality control

These capabilities support customers across automotive, aerospace, agriculture, heavy equipment, electronics, display technologies, specialty materials, retail and defense. Whether the need is a returnable steel rack for a high-volume manufacturing program, a custom crate for an oversized machine, protective packaging for sensitive electronics or a Mil-Spec solution for a critical defense shipment, Basin Industries can engineer the packaging around the product, its handling requirements and its destination.

By coordinating more of that work through one platform, customers can reduce the complexity of managing multiple vendors while gaining access to a deeper bench of engineering, manufacturing and logistics expertise. They also benefit from a wider North American network, greater flexibility and the ability to develop packaging systems that balance protection, efficiency, cost and sustainability.

Building on the strengths of proven businesses

Basin Industries was created to expand what its businesses can accomplish together without losing the qualities that made each one successful. Customers will continue working with the experienced people, trusted processes and service-focused teams they know. Those teams are now supported by a broader organization with additional materials, equipment, technical knowledge and operational resources.

This approach reflects Talus Holdings’ broader investment philosophy: align with capable operators, invest in strong businesses and help them create lasting value through disciplined growth and continuous improvement. Basin Industries demonstrates what is possible when complementary companies retain their strengths while working together toward a larger opportunity.

The result is more than a collection of packaging businesses. It is a complete material handling platform designed to help customers protect valuable products, improve material flow and move goods safely and efficiently through increasingly complex supply chains.

We are excited to support the Basin Industries team as it begins this next chapter and continues building a stronger, more capable partner for customers across North America.
