Dixie was founded in Atlanta, Georgia with a vision to provide American families with convenient, high-quality disposable tableware. Our first production facility began manufacturing paper cups with a capacity of 10 million units per year, focusing on durability and affordability.
Dixie achieved nationwide distribution, becoming a household name across all 50 states. We expanded our product line to include plates, bowls, and cutlery, reaching 5 million American households annually. Our production capacity increased to 500 million units per year.
Dixie achieved ISO9001 certification, demonstrating our commitment to quality management systems. We implemented rigorous testing protocols, with each production batch undergoing 15+ quality checkpoints to ensure product safety and consistency.
Launched the revolutionary PerfecTouch insulated cup technology, featuring a patented dual-layer design that keeps beverages hot while cups remain cool to touch. This innovation eliminated the need for cup sleeves, reducing material waste by 35% and saving customers an estimated $2 million annually in sleeve costs.
Introduced Soak Proof Shield coating for paper plates, preventing grease and moisture penetration for up to 2 hours. This technology received the National Restaurant Association Innovation Award and became the industry standard for premium disposable plates.
Launched comprehensive sustainability initiatives, achieving FSC certification for responsible forest management. We committed to sourcing 100% of our paper from certified sustainable forests and reduced water consumption by 40% through advanced recycling systems.
Obtained ISO14001 environmental management certification and launched our first line of compostable cups made from plant-based materials. These products break down completely within 90 days in commercial composting facilities, diverting an estimated 15,000 tons of waste from landfills annually.
Achieved BRC (British Retail Consortium) Global Standards certification for food safety, joining the elite 12% of North American manufacturers with this recognition. Our facility underwent 250+ safety audits with zero major non-conformances, setting new industry benchmarks.
Invested $25 million in AI-powered quality control systems and automated production lines, increasing efficiency by 45% while reducing defect rates to less than 0.1%. Our facility now produces 1 billion+ cups annually with industry-leading consistency.
Committed to achieving carbon neutrality by 2030 through renewable energy adoption, supply chain optimization, and carbon offset programs. Currently, 60% of our energy comes from solar panels installed on our facility roof, reducing CO2 emissions by 8,000 tons annually.
Our patented dual-layer insulation system revolutionized the disposable cup industry when launched in 2005. Unlike traditional single-wall cups, PerfecTouch features an air-insulated wall that maintains beverage temperature for up to 60 minutes while keeping the outer surface cool to touch.
Introduced in 2010, our Soak Proof Shield coating transformed paper plate performance. This proprietary barrier technology prevents grease, moisture, and sauces from penetrating the plate surface, maintaining structural integrity even with heavy, greasy foods.
