  • We've taken another big leap forward in our work to create the world’s next generation of safe, smart, sustainable food & beverage containers! We're the first in North America to add PulPac’s revolutionary dry molded fiber production process, which will allow us to create products with significantly less water and energy than traditional fiber forming. It also lowers the CO2 production footprint by up to 80%. Thanks to PulPac and Seismic Solutions LLC for being part of our journey! Read more on our website>>>>

  • Congrats to two of our brilliant engineers! Chelsea Olcese, Engineering Manager, and the late Randy Lamie, Staff Engineer, were recently awarded a patent for an innovative process related to paper container adhesives. Their work will help us continue finding alternative coatings for more sustainable cups. Randy’s daughter, Megan Goodrich (left, with plaque), who also works here at Dart on coatings development, accepted the patent on his behalf. In addition to his two patents and many inventive ideas, we remember Randy for his curiosity and kindness. A big thanks to Chelsea (right, with plaque) and Randy for this new process and for all their important innovations in product development and testing!

  • At Dart, one way we demonstrate our commitment to safety is by encouraging as many of our employees as possible to take part in free first-responder training. The training, which teaches CPR and first aid, showed its exceptional worth recently at our production facility in Leola, PA. Trained first responders quickly answered the call when coworkers discovered Lead Maintenance Mechanic Bruce Jones unresponsive on the job due to a medical emergency. The first responders delivered CPR until 911 personnel arrived. Bruce remained unresponsive for several days and in the hospital for several weeks, but – as he began to recover – his mother called the plant to thank those who responded for saving his life. Bruce got the chance to deliver a heartfelt thank you of his own after returning to the job and joining the first responders for a thank you lunch. Pictured (l-r) are: Lead Machine Operator Selena Rosado, Machine Operator Vincent Richardson, Maintenance Mechanic Angela Kell, Production Supervisor Melissa Rice, Bruce Jones, Lead Machine Operator Ed Nadal, Lead Electrician Vern Ditzler, and Electrician Carlos Segarra-Torres.

  • As a homegrown Michigan manufacturer since 1960, we were excited to once again participate in Rosie the Riveter Day! Yesterday, a group of our own “Rosies” visited the Michigan State Capitol to remember the crucial role women played in manufacturing during World War II and recognize their continued importance in the field today. Special thanks to Capital Area Manufacturing Council for bringing us together to celebrate women in manufacturing and skilled trades. We had a great time!

  • Right now, communities, facility operators, nonprofits and solid waste authorities can apply to receive up to $50,000 to expand foam polystyrene recycling. We're excited to once again partner with Foodservice Packaging Institute's Foam Recycling Coalition on this initiative, which to date has made it possible for an additional 11 million residents across the US and Canada to have access to recycling for items like foam polystyrene cups, egg cartons, takeout containers and packaging materials! Visit www.RecycleFoam.org/Grants to learn more about foam recycling, read about previous recipients or apply for a grant.

  • Congrats to Luis Altamirano Paez, a Senior Process Engineer who recently earned his first patent! His groundbreaking innovation helps reduce machine downtime in our paper cup departments, transforming operations at facilities across the company. “I’m happy that all the time invested in machine optimization has improved performance,” said Luis. “And I’m excited to receive this patent!” Way to go, Luis. We’re glad you’re at Dart and grateful for your many invaluable contributions!
