Albers Aerospace acquires aluminium container manufacturer Garrett Container Systems

Albers Aerospace, located in McKinney, Texas, has taken over Garrett Container Systems, a specialist in making aluminium storage and shipping containers. This move was to solidify Alber’s military customer base.

Founded in 1991 by Don and Liz Morin, Garrett Container Systems (GCS) is a master in creating rigid aluminium storage and logistical containers or tactical kits. GCS will be operated as a sister concern of Albers Aerospace and will run its existing operations in Accident, Maryland.

Aluminium is a lightweight, anti-corrosive, non-ferrous material that is very useful in making accessories for the military. Moreover, aluminium can be infinitely recycled, ultimately raising the sustainability quotient of an end-user product. When recycled, aluminium retains its original properties emitting lesser carbon than the production of primary aluminium does. 

Garrett Container Systems (GCS) is a HUBZone-certified small business, and it basically provides the military with Air Transportable deployment containers and kennels customised to meet the mission specifications.

The CEO of Albers Aerospace, John Albers, commented: “Garrett Container Systems is a natural addition to the growing Albers Aerospace family of companies that exist to serve the warfighter and bring the essential capability to bear for our nation.”

McKinney-based Albers Aerospace is an ex-service veteran proprietary small business aimed at supplying aviation, engineering and manufacturing solutions to defence and government bodies. The collaboration is estimated to boost the aviation and logistics sector in the USA.
