Hotpack is investing US$100 million to build a food packaging manufacturing facility in Edison, US. The plant will be the UAE-headquartered company’s first site in the US, spanning 70,000 square feet and starting operations this June. Hotpack expects to create 200 new regional jobs during the first project phase, promising further employment as it scales. The plant will make customized cups, containers, and clamshells from plastic and paper. The investment is said to allow Hotpack to better support its US customers and to reinforce its commitment to sustainable packaging operations.
