NATURE SPRING

From Museo Pambata, we headed Northward to our second destination: the Philippine
Spring Water Resources, Inc. Plant in Guiguinto, Bulacan where the Natures Spring
Drinking Water is purified, bottled, sealed and packed.
We learned and we were able to witness how the plastic bottles in different sizes were
made, formed, thoroughly cleansed and labeled. We also toured the whole vicinity
including the area where the purified water is bottled, sealed and packed in boxes.
There were not much pictures taken because cameras are not allowed inside. Im not sure
if this particular tour sparked the interest of the pre-schoolers but definitely, they enjoyed
the bottled water drinks they were handed and the Pineapple flavored water we all tasted
for free after the plant tour.
HISTORY
PHILIPPINE SPRING WATER RESOURCES, INC. (PSWRI), a 100% Filipino owned
and managed company. It is a manufacturer and distributor of NATURE'S SPRING
bottled drinking water products for both local and international markets.
The production and distribution of purified, safe and affordable drinking water was
conceived by its President and Chief Executive Officer in 1991 when the need was so
magnified after super typhoon Ruping (the Philippine name for internationally christened
typhoon Mike) hit Cebu, Philippines sometime in November, 1990. The destruction it had
caused brought unimaginable havoc and paralyzed the whole island. There was no
electrical power which also caused the disruption of the water distribution. The populace
were only relying on unsafe deep well water sources. This resulted on an outbreak of
water bound diseases like El Tor, Cholera, Diarrhea and Hepatitis A.
The need for a safe drinking water was an immediate concern. The demand for safe
bottled drinking water products was emphasized. Unfortunately, these where not readily
available in the market. There was only a handful local brands and few expensive foreign
bottled water. Stocks were very few and in some cases no supply at all.
THE BRAND
Our brand name NATURE'S SPRING PURIFIED and DISTILLED BOTTLED
DRINKING WATER, comes in two types of packaging, the NATURE'S SPRING NonReturnable Bottles (NRB) which comes in several sizes, and the NATURE'S SPRING

PACTEC
PacTec, Inc. is the industry leader in the design and manufacturing of packaging for the
waste and transportation industry across the globe. Products include spill containment
berms, dewatering filters and tubes, IP-1/IP-2 lift bags, specialty nuclear products, tarps,
liners and more. Our corporate offices are based in Clinton, LA with sales and
distribution locations worldwide. We also own and operate manufacturing facilities in
Subic Bay, Philippines and Clinton, LA. With over 15 current US and British patents, we
have a reputation of developing innovative solutions for todays problems.
MPANY OF THE YEAR (fewer than 100 employees)
Founded in 1989.
Produces custom-engineered packaging products for the nuclear waste, hazardous
waste and transportation industries.
Maintains locations in the Philippines, the United Kingdom, and across the country.
Holds 10 U.S. patents and one U.K. patent.
Has been featured on the History Channels Modern Marvels.
Youve probably seen photos of military helicopters dropping massive bags of sand to
plug the levee breaches that followed Hurricane Katrina. But you probably dont know
where those bags came from.
Our lead engineer got a phone call in the middle of the night, recalls Rodney Terral,
executive vice president and CFO of PacTec. The company had maybe a couple
hundred such bags on their shelves; the engineer was asked how quickly they could
make 1,000 more.
He says, I cant make anything; I dont have any power,' Terral says. A few phone
calls were made, and we had power by about 8 the next morning. We worked 24 hours a
day for three or four weeks trying to make enough bags so that they could continue to
shore up that levee breach.
National exposure from the Katrina disaster led to more business for the growing
company that started in a 2,400-square-foot facility in Clinton. Company president Mike
Schilling, his mother and one other employee created the first product, a patented
disposable plastic liner used in transporting hazardous waste.
As sales grew, their raw material supplier offered to partner with them, and PacTec was
founded in 1989.
Today, PacTec is an industry leader in the design and manufacturing of hazardous waste
packaging, with about 175 core employees (some 80 of them local), a presence in the
United Kingdom and satellite offices and warehouse space across the country. Much of
their product is made at a 50,000-square-foot plant in the Philippines, although the most
highly customized work still happens in Clinton, where the headquarters remain.
Weve considered [moving], Schilling says, noting that rural East Feliciana Parish
doesnt have the deepest talent pool. But PacTec has made significant investments
there, in both equipment and people, and some of their employees have been with them
for 15 years or longer.

We want to expand our branch locations, he says, but from the corporate standpoint,
we intend to remain in Clinton.
Many of PacTecs customers are in the oil and gas industry. Terral says the company has
benefited from the fracking-driven expansion in onshore energy exploration in several
states.
We do see a lot more environmental consciousness in that industry as a whole,
Schilling adds.
He says PacTec constantly is looking at potential new markets. The company is testing
various products and applications in Japan, which is only just getting started on the
multidecade recovery from the Fukushima disaster.
We know one day thats going to be a monster cleanup, Schilling says. Theres a ton
of contamination of soil and debris there.
One product Schilling calls the Geotube, typically about 200 feet long and 60 feet in
circumference and heretofore primarily used to remove sediment from industrial ponds,
also could be positioned to create barriers to fight coastal erosion. While the tubes
currently are made with woven plastics, Schilling says the company is exploring
biodegradable materials. He thinks PacTec may end up benefiting from its proximity to
the Water Campus coastal research center planned for Baton Rouge.
Schilling says the company always has funded its own growth, and remains proudly
debt-free.
Its been a good position to be in, he notes.
Terral says the companys annual revenue is in the mid-$20 million range and is two
years into a five-year plan to hit $50 million.
We expect to double our business in the next three years or so, he says.
PRODUCT + SOLUTION
SPILL CONTAINMENT
1. Spill Berm

PacTec, Inc. offers several portable, spill containment solutions. We call them the
BermPac. The single-piece heat-welded BermPacs provide a safe, easy and costeffective solution for spill containment aimed at helping you prevent costly incidents.
Common sizes range from 4 to 50, but PacTec, Inc. can manufacture any custom size
needed. BermPacs are offered in a variety of materials that are UV and chemical
resistant, flexible, portable, lightweight and durable. BermPacs provide excellent spill
containment for frac tanks, tanker trucks, decontamination wash pads, drum storage and
many other applications. They are also perfect secondary containment solutions.
2. ENERGY DISPLACEMENT SYSTEM
PacTecs customizable flow-line safety restraint (FLSR) system is the premier sling
loop system. The system reduces the potential area of damage and the catastrophic

effects of a rupture, and unexpected pipe breakage, in highly pressurized fluid piping. It is
implemented within the pressure pumping system industries and can save worker lives
while greatly reducing collateral damage in the event of a failure. Moreover, the system
performs more favorably than existing restraint systems. Secured throughout the length of
piping at key points, the FLSR System dissipates energy released during pipe breakage
throughout the sling system and on-site anchors, greatly decreasing potentially disastrous
situations.
3. Transformer Containment Bags
PacTec, Inc.s TransPac Transformer Containment Bag is the safe way to contain
leaking transformers for transport to service centers. Our proprietary design is the first in
the industry to utilize a zipper closure for ease of use in the field. The heavy-duty, multilayer bag includes a full absorbent inner layer and is also lightweight, compact and easily
stored on service trucks.
4. Collapsible spill tray
This collapsible, compact and portable spill tray is small enough to fit behind the seat of
your vehicle when rolled and strapped. It sets up in seconds, is available in multiple sizes
and is made of lightweight and durable chemical resistant materials. PacTecs Collapsible
BermPac performs the same duty of catching and holding spilled liquids as a traditional
berm, but in a compact form and taking mere seconds to set up.
5. EQUIPMENT DRIP PROTECTION
PacTec, Inc.s DripPac is the optimal way to prevent equipment fluid leaks from ruining
finished floors or leaching into the soil on environmentally sensitive jobsites. The
DripPac is designed with a high absorbency pad to collect oil, hydraulic fluid and other
lubricants that may leak or drip. Engineered to fit a variety of equipment, the DripPac fits
under the machine and is secured with its attached bungee cords. They are constructed of
durable, mildew- and tear-resistant vinyl with a white absorptive pad, making
identification of fluid leaks easier.
DEWATERING FILTRATION
1. Dewatering Filters
Using both screen and non-woven materials, the DePac is a cost effective method for
dewatering sludges and capturing solids for disposal or recovery. DePac is an easy-to-use
alternative to renting dewatering equipment, and is versatile enough to work with most
industrial waste containers.
2. Dewatering Tube and Bag
The GeoPac is a geotextile tube used for dewatering and volume reduction of various
types of sludge material. The GeoPac uses internal pressure to dewater instead of
relying solely on gravity. This allows you to dewater large volumes of sludge more
efficiently than typical dewatering boxes, saving you time and money.
Waste Packaging
1. Bulk Bags - Flexible Packaging/ FIBC's
The LiftPac is a certified IP-1 flexible package for all forms of materials such as soils,
gravel, demolition debris, metal and single solid items such as metal containers. The
LiftPac is a certified IP-2 flexible package for homogenous flowable solids that may
include soil, gravel and demolition debris. Manufactured of heavy-duty woven and non-

woven polypropylene with patented zipper closures, the LiftPac gives users a safe and
secure way to store, transport and dispose of a variety of wastes. Easily transported by
rail, flatbed, dump truck, intermodal containers and barges.
2. Self-Standing UN Rated Bulk Bag
PacTec, Inc.s LiftPac is the only self-standing zipper-top hazardous waste bag on the
market. This cubic yard bag is the perfect solution for disposal of household hazardous
waste, contaminated PPE, and a variety of other applications. The LiftPac walls are
constructed of rigid corrugated fiberboard allowing the bag to be self-standing, while the
glued in 6 mil PE liner provides ultimate leak protection. It contains the equivalent of
four 55-gallon drums at a significant savings in cost and storage space. They are
lightweight, easy-to-assemble, versatile and can easily be lifted by forklift with attached
loops.
3. Transformer
4. Form-Fit Disposable Container Liners
The TransLiner is a disposable polyethylene container liner with a customizable design
that ensures a form fit, every time. Designed to help transport solids and sludge wastes
safely nd securely, the TransLiner design positions the liner seals outside of the container
to provide exceptional leak protection. The TransLiner may also be fitted to cover the
load which aids in dust and odor control.
5. Large Container industrial waste bag
The TransPac limits worker exposure, offers quick-and-easy installation, reduces clean
out costs, and requires minimal storage space. Customized options include multiple
spouts, open top, open end, and a patented zipper closure. The standard TransPac is
constructed of a woven polymeric fabric and can be designed to handle asbestos, highheat materials, powders and odorous materials.
6. RailcarLiners
