Dart Container Corp

Dart Container started in 1937 as a small machine shop in Mason, Michigan. The company s experimentation with expandable polystyrene in the late 1950s led to a line of high quality insulated foam cups, and Dart Container Corporation was born. Consumers immediately recognized the benefits of foam cups over the then-popular paper hot cups. The benefits include superior insulation, strength, and durability all provided at a lower cost due to Dart's unrivaled proprietary technical innovations. Providing its customers with service and products of high quality further fueled dart s early success in the foam cup market. Today, Dart is a global enterprise, manufacturing a broad range of quality single-use products for the foodservice, retail, and food packaging industries, and is the world's largest manufacturer of foam cups. In order to ensure that the company provides its customers with consistent product quality and a dependable source of supply, Dart manufactures most of its own production equipment and raw materials. It then turns those raw materials into finished products and uses Dart trucks to deliver them to points across the globe.
