The Universal Barrel Company had works at Two Waters Mill, Boxmoor, Herts, where the process of paper barrel manufacture invented by Mr. J. R. Thame was carried out.
By 1892 the experimental works at Boxmoor were turning out about 150 barrels per day, which was chiefly used for cement barrels; it was claimed they were also to be used for transport of iodine and other materials which can only be sent in good barrels.
