Atlanta-based GSC Packaging, a nationwide provider of turnkey contract packaging solutions, earned the top spot in the Atlanta Business Chronicle’s 2013 Pacesetter Awards, which recognize Atlanta’s 100 fastest-growing private companies. GSC Packaging is a leading U.S. contract packager of powdered foods, drink mixes, supplements and diet products, and specializes in multiple forms of food contract packaging and secondary packaging solutions, including stick packs, pouches, large format pouches, vertical form fill seal pouches, and horizontal form fill seal pouches.
Revenues are undisclosed, but grew organically with new business as the employee base has grown from 30 to 300 between 2010 and 2012. In addition to offering customers production capacity without investing in capital assets, the co-packer has helped them achieve "decreased lead-time to market and built-in expertise in packaging design, quality procedures, and food safety,” says GSC's CEO Bob Shapiro.
