Our Story

From Regional Supplier to Global Packaging Partner

Founded in 2015 by a team of supply chain engineers and packaging specialists, Cup Source began as a regional distributor aiming to bridge the gap between artisanal beverage brands and industrial-scale packaging solutions.

Through strategic acquisitions, sustainable manufacturing investments, and a relentless focus on B2B client success, we evolved into a vertically integrated enterprise serving restaurants, cafes, retailers, and private labels across six continents.

2015: Founded in Portland, OR with a focus on compostable cups
2018: Opened first manufacturing facility in Southeast Asia
2020: Launched proprietary EcoFlex™ packaging line
2022: Expanded to Europe & Latin America logistics hubs
2024: Achieved Carbon-Neutral certification across all facilities
