Dart Container Corporation
 PROFILE
Dart Container is a world cup winner -- maybe not in soccer, but it is the world's top maker of foam cups and containers, with about half of the world market in cups. The company uses a secret method of molding expandable polystyrene to make its products, which include cups, lids, dinnerware, and cutlery. To cut costs, Dart Container makes its own feedstocks, builds its own molding machinery, and operates its own distribution trucks. The company runs four polystyrene-recycling plants and operates through subsidiaries in Argentina, Australia, Canada, Mexico, and the UK. Although often embroiled in litigation, the Dart family continues to own the company.
