Food packaging solutions company Detpak has been named KFC’s Supplier of the Year for Australia.
The company, a subsidiary of South Australian third-generation, family-owned Detmold Group, was recognised by the fast-food giant ahead of more than a dozen suppliers of packaging, chicken, potatoes, beverages, other food ingredients – such as those secret herbs and spices, and distributors.
Detpak has been working with KFC since 1972, establishing a long-standing relationship built on providing the highest-quality packaging products and reliability.
“The company is thrilled to receive the award, which reflected the entire business’ input, continued commitment, focus and innovation,” said Ben Suttell, business manager at Detpak.
“I am thankful to the greater Detmold team who work tirelessly to ensure that we have maintained and strengthened our solid partnership with KFC, to ensure a great future together.”
KFC has more than 730 stores in Australia, and Detpak supplies numerous products to the company globally, having established a decades-long partnership, which is supported by a dedicated account team and the wider group, including its recently-completed LaunchPad R&D facility in Adelaide.
“KFC has been a valued customer for many years, which Detpak looks forward to supporting into the future. Congratulations to all the nominees and winners of the 2023 KFC Supplier Awards,” Suttell concluded.
Along with KFC, Detpak supplies paper and cardboard packaging solutions to other international food companies, including McDonald’s, Hungry Jack’s, Subway, Starbucks and Uber Eats.
