Dart Container Corporation Company Profile

Dart Container is a world cup winner -- not in soccer, but in foam cups and containers. Commanding about half of the global market in foam cups, its foodservice lineup also includes lids, containers, dinnerware, plastic cups, and cutlery, which is sold to hospitals, schools, and restaurants, as well as retailers. To make its products, family-owned Dart touts a secret molding method for expandable polystyrene. It also builds its own molding machinery and uses Dart trucks to deliver products from about 20 plants in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, the UK, and the US. In mid-2012, Dart made a significant move to expand when it acquired long-time rival Solo Cup in a deal valued at $1 billion.
