About Us

H&O Plastics has been manufacturing plastic buckets and pails in Birkenhead, Merseyside for over 25 years. As one of the few remaining UK-based plastic container manufacturers, we’ve built our reputation on producing high-quality products that consistently outperform imported alternatives.

Our containers are built to last. We use 20% more raw materials than our competitors, resulting in stronger, more durable buckets that can withstand heavy use. This commitment to quality means our products offer better value over their lifetime, even when competing against cheaper imports.

We maintain an extensive range of buckets and pails in various sizes, styles and colours. Our product line includes food-grade containers suitable for catering businesses, UN-approved containers for hazardous materials, and heavy-duty buckets for industrial applications. We’re the only UK manufacturer capable of producing containers in a full spectrum of bright colours.

As a direct manufacturer, we eliminate the middleman and pass the savings on to our customers. Whether you need a single bucket or multiple pallets, we offer competitive pricing across all order sizes. Trade customers benefit from significant volume discounts, while smaller businesses still receive market-leading prices.

Customer service remains at the heart of our business. Our experienced team provides personal attention to every order, from initial enquiry through to delivery. We’re always available to discuss specific requirements or provide technical advice on the best container for your needs.

We deliver across the UK, with most orders reaching customers within three working days. European delivery is also available for international customers. Local customers are welcome to collect orders directly from our Birkenhead facility during business hours.
