When Gallagher first partnered with Liquid Container, they were a regional supplier of low-margin HDPE (high-density polyethylene) stock bottles serving the Chicago area.

Liquid Container later became the industry-leading national manufacturer and marketer of specialty rigid plastic containers serving the entire US food and consumer products markets. The company was also a pioneer in their industry with unique design, engineering and manufacturing capabilities and a business strategy focused on complex, custom-designed packaging products.

This partnership was the main focus of Charlie Gallagher’s initial private equity acquisition in 1986. He partnered with the Industry Group of International Minerals and Chemicals Corp. management to acquire, from their parent company, a division that had historically lacked focus.

The newly independent business was named Applied Industrial Materials Corp. (AIMCOR) and was grown into a leading international supplier of carbon products and related services and manufacturer of ferroalloys, metals, minerals and metallurgical process materials.

Milcor was a small division of Inland Steel providing niche metal products to various construction trades when Gallagher acquired it in 1986 from the parent company.

Milcor later became a leading manufacturer of a complete line of building products including access doors, roof hatches, vents, registers, bath cabinets and telescoping doors. The company sold its products and services nationally into the residential, commercial, institutional and industrial construction markets through a variety of channels.
