Plastipak

Packaging the Future
A global leader in the packaging and recycling industries, Plastipak designs and manufactures high-quality, rigid plastic containers for the food, beverage and consumer products industries including cleaning, automotive and aerosol products. Driven by innovation and committed to sustainability, Plastipak holds over 1,500 patents globally for its state-of-the-art package designs and manufacturing processes. Founded in 1967 and headquartered in Plymouth, Michigan, Plastipak operates over 60 sites around the globe with more than 6,000 employees. Plastipak was founded in 1967 by Bill Young to solve the problem of heavy five-gallon water jugs — plastic seemed the ideal solution to lighten the load, and that success was the start of Plastipak's ongoing innovation. Plastipak produced its first polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles for a major client, Pepsi, and has continued innovating ever since — including introducing the world's first rotary dual cavity ISBM blow molding system, carbon-coated barrier containers, and most recently in 2023, PPK Natura™, the world's first PET resin made from carbon waste. As a family-owned business, Plastipak provides packaging for some of the world's most recognized and respected brands, with associates supporting operations around the globe in a safe, positive and collaborative environment.
