Who is MPH United?

MPH stands for Michael Patrick Harding, our founder, president and CEO. MPH was born into a second-generation storage tank manufacturing business and with his brother and two cousins owned Clawson Container Company and then started IBC North America in 1996. Those businesses grew rapidly and had multiple facilities across North America. MPH built the businesses with attention to service and by listening and partnering with customers. Over the years, MPH became well known in the agricultural chemical business becoming what many called “the godfather of the AGCHEM IBC.”

After selling Clawson Container (2006) and IBC North America (2016), MPH was encouraged by many former customers to reenter the IBC industry – thus MPH United was born in 2021.

United stands for MPH uniting, through a series of alliances and equity partnerships, IBC manufacturers and regional recyclers with IBC end users. This unification has allowed MPH United to provide IBCs and IBC recycling to former and new customers quickly and in large volume. With 23 facilities involved in short order (and growing) MPH has united the customer with IBC supply.
