COLUMBIA, S.C. - Detpak USA (Detpak), a global packaging supplier supporting quick-service restaurant (QSR), food service, fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) and retail customers, today announced it selects Spartanburg County for its first U.S. manufacturing operation. The company's multi-million-dollar investment will create over 50 new jobs during its initial phase.
