   Sterilite was founded in 1939 in Fitchburg, Mass., as a partnership between   
   Saul and Edward Stone and Earl Tupper, the inventor of Tupperware. The company   
   gained initial business by selling plastic goods to the Armed Forces during   
   WWII. The company later    
   expanded operations to produce toys, storage tools, giftware, and other   
   plastic items.   
      
   The company relocated to nearby Townsend, Mass. in 1968. By the mid-70s, it   
   was one of the largest independent manufacturers of private household plastic   
   goods in the U.S. The company has since opened manufacturing plants in   
   Birmingham AL, Lake Havasu    
   City AZ, Massillon OH, Clinton SC, Ennis TX, and Davenport IA.   
      
   In 2009, Sterilite donated a new public library and senior center to Townsend,   
   the largest gift in the town's history.
