About Justrite MFG: Over a Century of Workplace Safety

Justrite Manufacturing has been a cornerstone of industrial workplace safety for more than 115 years. Founded in 1906 in Chicago and now headquartered in Mattoon, Illinois, Justrite has grown into a globally recognized leader in the design and manufacture of products for the safe management of flammable liquids, hazardous materials, and environmental containment. Every product in the Justrite lineup is engineered with a singular mission: protecting workers, facilities, and the environment from the real-world hazards of handling dangerous substances.

Justrite operates as part of the Justrite Safety Group, a family of industrial safety companies united by deep regulatory expertise and a commitment to compliance with standards set by OSHA, NFPA, the EPA, and FM Global. Products are tested and certified by independent third-party agencies including Factory Mutual (FM Approved) and Underwriters Laboratories (UL Listed), giving buyers confidence that what they purchase will perform when it matters most.

Core Product Lines

At the heart of the Justrite catalog are its industry-leading waste carry cans — robust, OSHA-compliant metal containers engineered for the safe disposal of oily rags, solvent-soaked cloths, and other flammable waste materials. These self-closing, galvanized steel cans are designed to prevent spontaneous combustion and block fire transmission, making them an essential fixture in any shop, garage, or industrial facility. Justrite backs its waste cans with an industry-notable ten-year warranty.

Equally critical to shop and facility safety are Justrite's storage cabinets. The Sure-Grip® EX line and other Justrite flammable safety cabinets are built to meet NFPA 30 and OSHA regulations, safely housing fuels, solvents, chemicals, and other hazardous liquids and keeping them segregated from ignition sources. Whether the need is for a compact undercounter unit or a large-capacity floor cabinet, Justrite offers configurations to match virtually any workspace.

For broader containment needs, Justrite's storage containers — including bench cans, plunger/dispensing cans, laboratory carboys, and portable mixing tanks — provide point-of-use solutions for safely dispensing and temporarily holding flammable or hazardous liquids throughout the workday. These containers are available in steel and polyethylene options and are designed to comply with OSHA and EPA requirements.

Technicians who regularly clean components will appreciate Justrite's parts washer sinks. These portable wash tanks are constructed from heavy-gauge powder-coated steel for chemical resistance, and they include baskets that let users immerse and clean multiple small parts while minimizing direct hand contact with cleaning solvents. Capacities range from 1 to 8 gallons to accommodate a variety of part sizes and workstation footprints.

Rounding out the parts-cleaning lineup are Justrite's hot solvent tanks — floor-standing and benchtop rinse tanks with foot-treadle-operated self-closing lids, fusible-link fire protection, and drain plugs for easy solvent changes. These tanks are built from heavy-duty coated steel and are designed to keep solvent use organized, contained, and compliant.
