Business
Karat Packaging Inc. manufactures and distributes single-use disposable products for restaurant and foodservice settings; its core offerings include food and take-out containers, bags, boxes, tableware, cups, lids, cutlery, straws, gloves, utensils, janitorial and warehouse supplies, and specialty beverage ingredients such as syrups, boba tea, and coffee drinks, available in plastic, paper, bagasse, biopolymer-based, and other compostable forms under brands including Karat Earth for eco-friendly options. The company, founded in 2000 and headquartered in Chino, California, serves national and regional restaurant chains, smaller local restaurants, distributors, retail establishments, and online customers primarily in the United States with operations focused on key markets like California and Texas. Karat Packaging provides customized solutions encompassing new product development, design, printing, and logistics services while distributing through facilities including production sites and warehouses such as new locations in Chicago and Houston. In recent developments, Karat Packaging launched a new paper bag line in 2025, securing a major contract with a national restaurant chain projected to generate $20 million in annual revenue and scale to over $100 million within two to three years amid regulatory shifts phasing out single-use plastics. The company expanded domestic sourcing to 20% of supply by mid-2025 to reduce reliance on imports, particularly from China and Taiwan, while increasing prices to offset costs and investing in automation, market expansion, and sustainable products like biodegradable items and plant-based utensils targeting the growing $12.7 billion global sustainable packaging market. Prior acquisitions include Obex Packaging Inc. for $18.5 million in 2022 to enhance capabilities and Pacific Cup Inc. for $1 million in 2021, alongside salesforce growth on the East Coast and Midwest, new warehouses, and initiation of a share repurchase program.
