Dart Container

At Dart Container Corporation, we are at the forefront of revolutionizing the foodservice packaging industry through a relentless focus on innovation and technological advancement. Our journey began in the late 1950s when our founder, William A. Dart, perfected a groundbreaking process for molding expandable polystyrene. This pivotal development led to the creation of the insulated foam cup in 1960, a product that not only defined our company but also transformed the way people consume beverages on the go. This spirit of ingenuity has been the cornerstone of our identity, driving us to continuously explore new materials, designs, and manufacturing processes to meet the evolving needs of a global market. Our vertical integration strategy is a testament to our commitment to excellence and efficiency, allowing us to control every aspect of production, from raw materials to our own trucking and sales forces, ensuring unparalleled quality and reliability in every product we deliver.

Today, our innovation extends far beyond foam cups. We are pioneering the future of sustainable packaging with our Eco-Forward® Design Approach and significant investments in new technologies like dry molded fiber. Through strategic partnerships, such as our collaboration with INXhrc for natural-based inks, we are pushing the boundaries of what's possible in environmentally responsible packaging. Our product portfolio has expanded to over 3,000 items, including cups, plates, containers, lids, and straws, manufactured from a diverse range of materials like paper, polypropylene, PET, and sugarcane. We are not just manufacturing products; we are engineering comprehensive solutions that address the critical demands for safety, convenience, and sustainability. By embracing advanced technologies like Microsoft Azure for our cloud infrastructure and leveraging data analytics, we are optimizing our operations and driving the next wave of innovation in the packaging industry, ensuring we remain the industry standard of excellence for generations to come.
