We understand that your success is our success, which is why we create lasting partnerships instead of clients. You are much more than a customer to us and we heavily invest ourselves into your products, ideas, and issues to ensure that your aerosol, chemical, and liquid packaging needs are met to the quality level that you deserve.

Animal Repellent Inc founded by Bob Dixon via Osmose
January 15, 1964Animal Repellents Inc. was started by Robert Dixon, who wanted to find an aerosol can solution for postal workers to repel dogs without harming their eyes. Robert, along with two professors at the University of Georgia, invented Pepper Spray. This was the first product ARI manufactured, and we continue to supply this to postal workers, meter readers, and utility workers over 50 years later. - 1971

June 4, 1988Gordon saw an opportunity to run other types of products and expanded ARI’s operation. One of the areas was OTC drug products for first aid kits. We cater to each industry to help them conform to the requirements of OSHA. We are now the largest supplier to this industry for aerosols and supply about 95% of that market. ARI is a registered FDA facility and operates under GMP guidelines.In addition to those products, we also started manufacturing aerosol potpourri sprays and doing private label contract packaging. We have been packaging these types of products and many others for the last 30+ years.
