A leading global manufacturer of innovative food packaging products and solutions, Sabert Corporation started construction on its manufacturing facility, 50 miles northeast of Dallas, in Greenville, Texas.

According to company officials, in addition to manufacturing plastic packaging, this facility will also produce 100% compostable packaging made from plant based materials.

The Greenville facility, expected to be fully operational by early 2019, is expected to bring over 125 jobs to the area. The addition of this facility, which will be Sabert's first American facility to manufacture 100% compostable food packaging, speaks to the company's 35 year commitment to quality, innovation, and sustainability, company officials said.

Albert Salama, Sabert Founder & CEO said, "At the heart of this facility we will build, is our commitment to the environment. The more sustainable options we can offer our customers, the more we help the environment by replacing products that might end up in a landfill. We aim to make packaging that is compostable and will disintegrate into natural elements in a compost environment providing for a better future for us and our children."

"We commit to building a world class facility, create many jobs and provide our workers with a safe and enjoyable organization, helping to expand our community, deliver more options to our customers and be a valuable corporate citizen,” he said.
