Who we are

Founded in 2003 by industry veterans Bill Williams and Ken Owens, River’s Edge Terminals was built on a simple but powerful vision: to deliver efficient, quality-focused chemical packaging and logistics services in an industry where precision matters. After decades spent traveling the globe advising the world’s leading manufacturers and distributors on quality control systems, Bill and Ken took the best practices from across continents and applied them here at home.

Under their leadership, RET grew from a modest 20,000-square-foot operation into a 170,000-square-foot distribution and packaging hub, serving clients across the globe with a reputation for reliability and excellence.

At the core of River’s Edge Terminals is a relentless commitment to quality. Over the years, the team has developed proprietary processes and custom-engineered tools that enhance precision, reduce errors, and streamline operations. These innovations—born from decades of hands-on experience—allow us to consistently exceed industry standards, delivering faster, safer, and more cost-effective solutions for our clients.

Quality isn’t just a goal at RET—it’s the foundation of everything we do.

In 2025, River’s Edge Terminals entered a new chapter, acquired by a local ownership group committed to preserving and advancing the company’s legacy. The new team includes Bill’s daughter, Melissa Chadduck, Ken’s son, Sean Owens, and is led by Nick Pass and Will Samuel. Together, they bring a renewed energy, fresh investment, and a clear focus on expanding services while maintaining the unwavering commitment to quality and client-first values that built RET’s name. As we look ahead, River’s Edge Terminals remains firmly rooted in its proven foundation—poised to grow, evolve, and continue delivering industry-leading service and uncompromising quality control to partners old and new.
