Crespac

What Crespac does

Crespac (legal name: CRESPAC, INC.) is a privately held US manufacturer founded in 1981 and headquartered in Tucker, Georgia, that produces thermoformed light gauge plastic packaging from post-consumer recycled PETE resin. The company operates three core product lines: mushroom tills manufactured with a minimum 80% post-consumer recycled content, paint sundries produced with 100% recycled PETE resin, and meat and produce overwrap trays manufactured with a minimum 80% post-consumer recycled content. All production occurs in the United States in facilities operating under SQF (Safe Quality Food) certification.

The company sells exclusively through direct B2B relationships to enterprise retail customers across North America, targeting three primary segments: home improvement and paint retailers, grocery and food retailers, and fresh produce (specifically mushroom) producers and distributors. Crespac positions its product lines as sustainable, cost-effective alternatives to traditional packaging formats—rPET trays as alternatives to foam trays for protein and produce overwrap, and recycled PETE paint sundries that are durable and solvent-resistant. The company reports it maintains significant inventory of major mushroom till sizes in multiple colors and consistently ships to sites throughout North America, and it co-develops value-added, high-turnover items with industry-leading brands for placement at major home improvement and paint retailers.

Crespac's revenue model is direct hardware sales of physical packaging products; pricing is not publicly disclosed and no revenue figures are available. The company's strategic positioning rests on three pillars: high recycled content (80-100% PCR), domestic manufacturing with SQF-certified quality systems, and product breadth in mushroom tills where it claims the industry's widest range. With 11-50 employees and no disclosed funding history, Crespac operates as a focused, privately held niche manufacturer in the sustainable plastics packaging segment.
