Pactiv has a pretty Hefty job. The company makes the Hefty brand consumer products, such as plastic trash bags, slide-lock baggies, and disposable tableware, as well as a slew of foodservice items, including foam takeout containers, molded-fiber egg cartons, and plastic cups. Its foodservice and food packaging products are used by the supermarket, restaurant, packer/processor, and institutional industries, primarily in North America where most of Pactiv's manufacturing facilities are based. It has added operations in Germany and China. Wal-Mart is its most significant customer. New Zealand's Reynolds Group Holdings, an affliliate of billionaire Graeme Hart's Rank Group, acquired Pactiv in late 2010.
