GREENVILLE, TX - Sabert Corporation has begun construction for its new manufacturing facility, located in Greenville, Texas. In addition to manufacturing plastic packaging, this facility will also produce 100% compostable packaging made from plant based materials. The occasion was marked by a ground breaking ceremony led by Sabert founder and CEO, Albert Salama who was joined by Thomaz Gruber, Senior Vice President of Operations & Supply Chain, Steve Roberts, Greenville Plant Manager, Hunt County Officials, Greenville City Council members, Greenville Electric Utility System members, and Greenville Board of Development Directors.
Albert Salama thanked Hunt County and the City of Greenville for their support during the building process and spoke about the significance of the facility, “At the heart of this facility we will build, is our commitment to the environment”.
