Southeastern Container is a mid-sized PET packaging manufacturer that supplies PET bottles, PET preforms, and HDPE pallets for the Coca-Cola bottling system. Founded in 1982 as a cooperative by Coca-Cola bottlers seeking lower-cost PET packaging, the company began in Enka, North Carolina. Over the years, expanding bottler membership broadened its footprint, and it now serves more than 50 Coca-Cola operations across 34 states and six Canadian provinces. Its role sits within the packaging and containers manufacturing industry, focusing on PET packaging components for the Coca-Cola beverage network across the United States and Canada. In 2026, Southeastern Container announced a $31 million investment to modernize and expand its Buncombe County headquarters and Enka-Candler facility, reflecting continued facility expansion in North Carolina.
