UAE-based Hotpack, a food packaging and distribution company, plans to establish operations in Edison, New Jersey. The $100 million project is expected to create up to 200 jobs in Middlesex County over five years.

The company’s new 70,000-square-foot manufacturing and distribution facility will focus on the customization of cups, containers and clamshells made from both plastic and paper. Operations are scheduled to begin in June.

“Our New Jersey facility will be equipped with the latest advancements in packaging technology,” said Zainudeen PB, group COO and executive director. “This facility will serve as a strategic hub for producing bespoke plastic packaging solutions tailored to the unique needs of our clients across diverse industries. Hotpack is actively collaborating with local authorities in New Jersey to ensure the smooth and timely establishment of the facility, which is expected to become operational by mid-2025. The new site is designed to strengthen our global supply chain and provide localized support to customers in one of the world’s largest packaging markets.”

Hotpack offers a range of packaging solutions for various industries, including paper, aluminum, and plastic products, as well as eco-friendly and biodegradable options. The company currently has 29 operations across the Middle East, U.K., North America, Malaysia, India, and Africa.

“We are thrilled to see Hotpack’s continued success in New Jersey,” noted Wesley Mathews, president and CEO of Choose New Jersey. “This investment is a testament to the business-friendly environment and its position as a leader in advanced manufacturing. We look forward to supporting Hotpack’s growth as it brings high-quality jobs and sustainable innovation to our region.”
