The 80 foot long entrance of 图森的容器 (TCC) imposing tower is 40 feet high 和 40 feet in diameter. What is unique about the tall tower is 那。 the walls are shaped like flutes of corrugated single wall. “既然U乐国际是做瓦楞纸箱生意的, 我想把这种感觉传达给其他人,韦德拉说。. “巨大的入口塔, 有人称之为“圆顶大教堂”, of most of our facilities are a physicalreminder 那。 our employees are the defenders of our high st和ards 和 the resource efficiency of our corporate culture plus our current business model,韦德拉说。.
