Dester gets closer to its U.S. market

Serviceware and packaging specialist dester is to open a new production facility in Lima, Ohio (U.S.)

The Belgian company's expansion in the U.S. is a strategic move and an integral part of the company's global plan to produce closer to its core markets.

Stef Van de Perre, md dester, said: "Being able to offer products 'Made in the USA' will give additional quality reassurance for local customers and is a great way to give something back to the community. We already have a global supply chain and mature production plants in Belgium and Thailand but producing locally will significantly contribute to reducing our carbon footprint. We profoundly believe that good business should be good for people and gentle on the environment." dester.com
