SoCal Expansion Emerald expanded its manufacturing footprint into Southern California, adding a new plant to serve the West Coast market. This closer proximity enables shorter lead times and closer collaboration with California growers, retailers, and co-packers in produce and other fast-moving categories.

Sustainable PCR Momentum Emerald’s collaboration to develop a food-contact PCR bag with major partners signals a strong sustainability and recycled-content packaging capability. This positions the company to win brands seeking eco-friendly flexible packaging and to help customers meet environmental goals while leveraging Emerald’s California footprint and engineering strength.

Strategic Partnerships Existing partnerships with leading growers and retailers show the company’s ability to win large, ongoing packaging programs. There are opportunities to expand relationships with similar top-tier producers and retailers in produce and other fast-moving segments, especially via private-label or co-pack programs.

Integrated Capabilities Leveraging vertical integration and advanced technology, Emerald can offer end-to-end packaging design, development, and production, delivering customized, speedier solutions for fresh produce, confectionery, and snacks. This makes Emerald a strong partner for private-label programs and packaging conversions.

Capacity Advantage Asset acquisitions and new facilities expand capacity and improve supply reliability, enabling Emerald to scale with customers during peak seasons and extend regional coverage in California. This supports selling solutions that require consistent delivery, inventory availability, and fast ramp-ups.
