Detpak Opens U.S. Manufacturing Facility in Spartanburg, South Carolina

Global packaging supplier Detpak has opened a new manufacturing facility in Spartanburg, South Carolina, strengthening its ability to support major Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) customers with locally produced, paper-based packaging solutions. 

Detpak is a trusted packaging partner to some of the world’s largest and most recognisable QSR, foodservice, FMCG and retail brands, with experience supplying global customers such as McDonald’s, KFC, Starbucks and Wendy’s across multiple international markets, including in the United States. The company sells in 45 countries and owns manufacturing facilities in eight countries. 

The new U.S. manufacturing facility marks a significant step in Detpak’s global expansion and reinforces its long-term commitment to the North American market. By combining its global expertise with local manufacturing capability, Detpak will be better positioned to support U.S. customers with improved supply chain reliability, reduced lead times and greater operational flexibility. 

As we continue to grow our global footprint, opening our own manufacturing facility in the United States is a key milestone for our business. It allows us to better support our customers with locally manufactured products and reinforces our commitment to the U.S. market where we have been supplying customers from our international plants for over 20 years. We’re focused on building long-term partnerships and delivering the same level of service, innovation and reliability that our customers experience globally.
