The HC Companies, a North American manufacturer of horticultural containers, and Classic Home and Garden (CHG), a premier provider of decorative and functional products for the lawn and garden market in North America, have merged to unite under a new brand: Growscape.
Rooted in the brand idea of ‘growing together,’ Growscape aims to be a one-stop shop for horticulture growers, retailers and distributors, according to the company. The company combines eco-efficient U.S. manufacturing in injection molding, extrusion, thermoforming and blow molding for grow pots, decorative containers and backyard décor with its global sourcing network and a goal to deliver value-based and sustainable manufactured products.
Growscape aims to grow in the industry through a stage-gate new product development process focused on delivering consistent and exclusively sustainable innovations in both grow pot and decorative container categories.
“We will lead with innovation, developing exciting, new, on-trend product offerings while simultaneously focusing on game-changing operational efficiency solutions to help our partners reduce costs across their ecosystem, ultimately improving value for consumers,” said Ed Cooper, CEO of Growscape. “It is our responsibility being uniquely positioned as leaders in both domestic manufacturing and global sourcing to deliver value; defined as that perfect intersection where price meets quality.”
The combined company will be dual headquartered in Twinsburg, Ohio, and Shelton, Conn., with functional centers of excellence established in each location.
The company said it will continue to share, advise and collaborate with customers and value chain partners to set the direction forward toward a shared, sustainable future.
