Who CAQUIN is
An experienced, agile U.S.-based industrial packaging and sourcing company.
Sourcing industrial packaging since 1984
CAQUIN has worked in industrial packaging and international trade since 1984, starting with conical steel drums for bulk food and chemical products and expanding into the wider set of packaging, components and plant supplies our customers kept asking for. Four decades of relationships with manufacturers and suppliers — domestic and international — is the foundation we quote against your specification from today.
We are based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA, and we work with manufacturers and suppliers in the United States and abroad, choosing the source that fits the specification, the quantity and the delivery date.
What we do
- We source industrial packaging and plant supplies.
- We quote against your specification.
- We procure from domestic and international suppliers.
- We coordinate production, freight and delivery.
CAQUIN is not a manufacturer. Products are made by the suppliers we work with, and certifications belong to those products and manufacturers — we confirm them for each item on request.
How we work
Say what we know
If we have not confirmed something with a supplier, we do not present it as certain.
Specification first
Price only means something once the specification is right for the application.
Answer quickly
A short, honest answer today is worth more than a perfect one next week.
Stay reachable
One contact who knows your requirement, not a queue.
Keep it practical
We recommend what works in your plant, not what looks impressive on paper.
Sustainability, practically
Most of the environmental gains in industrial packaging come from ordinary decisions: a drum that nests when empty instead of shipping air back, a liner that lets a container be reused instead of washed out, the right film gauge so a pallet is wrapped once rather than three times, steel and board that go back into the recycling stream at end of life.
We point these out when they save money as well as material, which is usually the same conversation. We do not claim certifications or environmental credentials that belong to the manufacturers whose products we supply.
Don't see it? Ask us to source it.
If it is used in industrial packaging, plant operations or shipping, send us the specification. A photo, a part number or an old label is usually enough to start.
