AIS WSI & Sunoco Oil Cans: Keeping Engines Running Smoothly, From Factory to Finish

AIS WSI LLC, based in Suwanee, Georgia, isn't a name most car owners recognize directly, but chances are, we've touched a part of your vehicle. We're a leading provider of packaging solutions, specializing in high-quality metal and plastic containers. For over 20 years, we’ve quietly been the backbone for some of the biggest names in the automotive, chemical, and lubricant industries, and we're proud to partner with brands that demand reliability and performance – just like Sunoco. And that brings us to something near and dear to a lot of car folks: oil. Specifically, the cans that hold the oil. AIS WSI is a key supplier of the metal cans Sunoco uses for a lot of their popular oil lines. Why does the can matter? More than you think. You might think, “It’s just a container, right?” But when it comes to motor oil, the packaging plays a surprisingly big role. It's not just about keeping the oil in; it's about keeping the oil good. Motor oil is a complex chemical blend, and it can react with things like oxygen and moisture over time. A poorly made can can let those elements in, degrading the oil’s performance and potentially damaging your engine. That's where AIS WSI comes in. We don't just make cans, we engineer them. Our cans for Sunoco oil are built with a few key things in mind: Rust Resistance: Motor oil is… messy. Spills happen. Our cans are coated with a special lining that prevents rust, even if the can gets dinged or scratched. This protects the oil and keeps the can looking good on the shelf. Leak-Proof Design: Nobody wants a leaky oil can in their trunk. We use a precision manufacturing process to create a can with a tight, secure seal. This prevents spills during shipping, handling, and in your garage. Durability: These cans are built to withstand the rigors of the supply chain – from the factory to the auto parts store, and finally to your car. They’re designed to resist dents and punctures. Compatibility: Motor oil can be corrosive. The metal we use in our cans is specifically chosen to be compatible with the different types of oil Sunoco offers – everything from conventional motor oil to synthetic blends and high-performance racing oils. Precise Volume: Getting the right amount of oil is critical. We manufacture our cans to incredibly tight tolerances, ensuring that every can holds the exact amount of oil it’s supposed to. From Concept to Can: How AIS WSI Works with Sunoco Our relationship with Sunoco isn't just a simple "we make the cans, they fill them" situation. It's a collaborative partnership. Here's a quick look at the process: 1. Sunoco’s Needs: Sunoco comes to us with their specific requirements – the size and shape of the can, the type of oil it will hold, the branding and labeling details. 2. Engineering & Design: Our team of engineers works with Sunoco to refine the design and ensure it meets all of their needs. We use advanced software to create prototypes and test different materials. 3. Tooling & Manufacturing: Once the design is finalized, we create the tooling needed to manufacture the cans. Our state-of-the-art facility in Suwanee allows us to produce high-quality cans efficiently and reliably. 4. Quality Control: Every single can undergoes rigorous quality control checks. We test for leaks, rust resistance, and dimensional accuracy. We're committed to delivering a perfect product every time. 5. Delivery & Support: We work closely with Sunoco’s logistics team to ensure that the cans are delivered on time and in perfect condition. And we’re always available to provide technical support and address any questions they may have.
