New Environmentally-Friendly Rain Barrel Boost Canadian Manufacturer’s Fortunes
Cambridge, Ontario (June 2008)- A local manufacturing and distribution conglomerate, the Algranti Group of Companies, has developed a brand new rain barrel that has revitalized their Canadian plastics manufacturing business. Algranti, due to rising oil prices, poor currency exchange, and the sagging US economy, had had difficulty manufacturing products in North America. However, demand for this new environmentally-friendly product has been staggering. Plans have been made to increase manufacturing capacity due to the endless orders for the new Cascata rain barrel.
The new rain barrel not only helps customers to conserve water and save money, but it also combines the timeless aesthetic elegance of ceramics with the enduring longevity of modern plastics.
According to company spokesperson, Walat Yasin, “City-issued rain barrels are ugly. The concept behind this new product has been to develop a rain barrel that homeowners could proudly display, like a piece of furniture.”
The Cascata Rain Barrel can hold up to 65 gallons of rain water, and comes complete with a crown planter, a corrosion-proof screen guard, a brass spigot, an overflow valve, a connector with shut-off, a hook for a hanging garden hose, and a 6’ garden hose with a shut-off nozzle. Currently, the Cascata, and the smaller 50 gallon Agua rain barrel, retail at various online stores such as GardenSuperMart.com, at RONA, Lowe’s Canada, Home Hardware, and at garden centers across North America.
