Eagle Manufacturing began as a glass factory in the late 1800's and then added glass jars to the product mix in the early 1900's and then to metal supply cans for the railroad industry.  These were the cans that led them to manufacturing the safety cans and safety cabinets for the storage of flammables and the inclusion of the Haz-Mat containment products.  In the early 2000's they expanded again to include a complete range of guards and protectors.
