What Sabert Corp. does

Sabert Corp. is a privately held global food packaging manufacturer founded in 1983 and headquartered in Sayreville, New Jersey. The company produces multi-substrate packaging solutions spanning plastics (PET, PP, CPET), molded fiber pulp, and paper/paperboard, organized into five collections (Catering, Kraft, Cold, Green, and Hot) and serving food distributors, restaurants, caterers, grocers, convenience stores, bakeries, supermarkets, and protein processors across North America, Europe, and Asia. Sub-brands include Pulp Ultra (BPI-certified compostable molded fiber), Pulp Max and Pulp Plus, Twist & Crispy (award-winning dual-use containers), and r-PRO (post-consumer recycled bowls and containers). The company holds 410+ active patents and operates in-house Centers for Innovation and an Advanced Technology Center.

Sabert operates an integrated manufacturing footprint of more than eleven facilities across the United States (NJ, CA, IL, IN, KY, TX, VA), Belgium, England, Poland, and China, supported by regional sales offices in Europe (Nivelles) and Asia (Hong Kong). Through its wholly-owned Nuvida subsidiary, Sabert operates a recycling facility producing APR-certified post-consumer recycled resins including food-grade PCR with FDA Letter of No Objection, providing vertical integration into recycled feedstock. The company is also building paperboard capabilities through the 2025 acquisition of UK-based Colpac Limited and has announced an agreement to acquire Kalman Packaging Inc.

The business model is direct-sales-led, with a regional sales force, a customer portal (Sabert Central), and a Find Your Sabert Rep routing system. Pricing is quote-based under Net 30 terms, with freight prepaid on orders of 200+ cases and a 6% rush-order surcharge. Revenue is generated almost entirely through one-time product sales rather than licensing or subscription, with no public pricing or revenue figures disclosed. The company has 1,001–5,000 employees, reports 71% of 2025 sales from sustainable products, and targets 85% by 2030.
