Novolex is a North American manufacturer of packaging products, founded in 2003 and headquartered in the United States. The company produces packaging across four primary material categories - plastic films, paper products, molded fiber, and aluminum containers - and serves customers in foodservice, grocery retail, restaurant delivery, and industrial sectors. Its portfolio spans 39,000 SKUs across 120 product categories and 250 brands.
The company has grown substantially under Chairman and CEO Stanley Bikulege, who joined in 2008, expanding revenue from approximately $400 million to around $9 billion. Novolex operates more than 100 facilities and employs over 23,000 people across North America. In 2024, the company completed a combination with Pactiv Evergreen, further extending its scale and market position.
Novolex has a stated sustainability commitment organised around three pillars - Products, Operations, and People & Communities - with a target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 30% by 2030. The company's growth has been driven in part by strategic acquisitions, which have broadened both its manufacturing capabilities and its customer base across multiple packaging segments.
