MK Kosher is thrilled to welcome Krystalite GT Inc. to its growing family of kosher-certified Canadian companies. Since 1999, Krystalite GT has been providing globally best-in-class, innovative, and cost-effective packaging solutions in various eco-friendly and sustainable materials. Based in Fergus, Ontario — the heart of Wellington County — Krystalite GT is a manufacturer whose products touch the food and beverage industry every single day. And with MK Kosher certification now in place, they are ready to serve the kosher market with the same excellence they have delivered to the broader Canadian market for over two decades.
This is a certification we are particularly proud of. Packaging is often the unsung hero of the kosher food world — the cups, containers, and materials that hold, present, and protect kosher food and beverages deserve the same rigorous standards as the products inside them. Krystalite GT’s addition to the MK Kosher certified roster means that food businesses, caterers, event operators, and institutions across Canada now have access to a trusted, Ontario-made packaging solution that meets the standards of kosher certification.
Who Is Krystalite GT? Over 25 Years of Canadian Manufacturing Excellence
Since 1999, Krystalite GT has been building a reputation as a leading manufacturer specializing in practical, economical, and globally recognized packaging solutions designed to meet diverse industry needs with superior quality and sustainability. That is not a marketing tagline — it is a track record built over more than a quarter century of operation.
Krystalite GT Inc.’s single-use products are manufactured in Fergus, Ontario, Canada — a commitment to local production that reflects their values as a proudly Canadian company. In an era where so much manufacturing has moved offshore, Krystalite GT has maintained its roots in Ontario, investing in Canadian jobs, Canadian infrastructure, and Canadian expertise.
Their facility at 650 Victoria Terrace in Fergus serves as the production hub for a product range that reaches customers across Canada and beyond. With additional operations and sales presence in North York, Krystalite GT has built the footprint of a genuinely national manufacturer while keeping its production proudly local.
What Does Krystalite GT Make? Sustainable Packaging for the Modern Food Industry
At the heart of Krystalite GT’s product offering is a deep commitment to sustainable, recycled packaging — an area of growing importance not just for environmental reasons, but for the food and beverage companies that depend on reliable, food-safe, and now kosher-certified packaging solutions.
Krystalite GT Inc.’s raw materials contain 50% recycled PET plastic (rPET) and are 100% blue box recyclable at end of use. They manufacture rPET sheet rolls and cups in sizes including 12oz, 16oz, 20oz, and 24oz, and also have the capability to custom print in 1 to 8 colours, with minimum order quantities for custom print starting at 10,000 cups. They also provide a range of rPET lids including flat straw slot, sip dome lid with x-punch, and other configurations.
This is a product line built for the real world of food service — cups and packaging that work in restaurants, caterers’ kitchens, events, hotels, cafés, institutional dining, and anywhere beverages and food are served at scale. The addition of kosher certification to this range means that every one of these use cases can now be served with fully certified packaging.
Their APET and rPET thermoformed packaging solutions are designed for the intersection of quality, cost-effectiveness, and environmental responsibility — three things the modern food industry demands, and three things Krystalite GT consistently delivers.
Sustainability and Kosher: Two Standards That Go Hand in Hand
One of the things that makes Krystalite GT such a natural fit for MK Kosher certification is the parallel between their sustainability commitments and the philosophy that underpins kosher standards. Both are fundamentally about doing things right — not cutting corners, not taking shortcuts, and maintaining a standard of integrity that goes beyond the minimum required.
Krystalite GT’s use of recycled PET material reflects a company that thinks carefully about the impact of what it produces. Their blue-box recyclable products reflect a commitment to closing the loop on single-use packaging. And their investment in custom printing capability — allowing food brands to put their identity on every cup — reflects a company that sees itself as a genuine partner to the businesses it serves.
For kosher food businesses, that kind of partnership matters. A certified kosher caterer serving hundreds of guests, a kosher restaurant operating at volume, or a kosher food manufacturer packaging product for retail — all of them need packaging they can trust. With MK Kosher certification, Krystalite GT’s products now carry that trust explicitly.
Fergus, Ontario: A Manufacturing Community Worth Celebrating
There is something worth acknowledging about where Krystalite GT calls home. Fergus, Ontario is a small town with a big manufacturing tradition — a community in Wellington County that has long been home to skilled trades, family businesses, and the kind of proud, roll-up-your-sleeves work ethic that built this country. Krystalite GT is part of that tradition.
Choosing to manufacture in Fergus rather than moving production elsewhere is a statement. It supports local employment, local supply chains, and the local economy of a community that deserves to thrive. MK Kosher is proud to certify a company that is as committed to its community as it is to its products.
MK Kosher: Certifying Canadian Businesses of Every Size, from Coast to Coast
At MK Kosher, one of our proudest commitments is that we work with companies of every size — from small artisan producers just beginning their kosher journey to large-scale manufacturers looking to open new markets. Krystalite GT exemplifies the kind of established, professional Canadian manufacturer that represents the best of what kosher certification can accomplish.
The kosher market in Canada is expanding. The observant Jewish community forms its traditional core, but today’s kosher consumers are a far broader group — including halal-observant consumers, health-conscious shoppers who associate kosher certification with higher quality standards, individuals with dietary sensitivities, and food professionals who specify certified ingredients and packaging as part of their operational standards.
For a packaging manufacturer like Krystalite GT, kosher certification is a genuine market expansion tool. Every kosher-certified food business that buys packaging needs certified options. Every kosher caterer setting up for an event needs cups and containers they can rely on. Every kosher hotel, institution, or food service operator needs packaging partners they can point to in their own certification documentation. Krystalite GT can now be that partner — fully, officially, and with the MK Kosher mark to prove it.
Custom Printing: Putting the Kosher Mark Front and Centre
One particularly exciting dimension of Krystalite GT’s offering for the kosher market is their custom printing capability. The ability to print 1 to 8 colours on their rPET cups means that kosher food businesses can have their branding — and their kosher certification mark — printed directly on every cup, every container, every piece of packaging they use.
For kosher event catering, branded cups with kosher markings are a practical tool for ensuring compliance and communicating standards to guests. For kosher food brands, custom-printed packaging is a marketing opportunity and a compliance tool in one. Krystalite GT’s capability to deliver this at scale, from a certified facility, is a genuine value-add for the kosher community.
The MK Kosher Difference: A Certification Built on Partnership
What sets MK Kosher apart is not just the rigour of our standards — it is the way we work. We approach every certification as a partnership, not a transaction. We invest in understanding each company’s products, processes, and goals. We work collaboratively to ensure that the path to certification is clear, well-supported, and sustainable for the long term.
With Krystalite GT, that approach found a company ready to meet it. Their professionalism, their well-organized facility, and their genuine commitment to quality made the certification process a pleasure from beginning to end. This is exactly the kind of Canadian manufacturer MK Kosher is proud to stand behind.
Looking Ahead: Growing Together in the Canadian Kosher Market
The certification of Krystalite GT GT is not the end of a process — it is the beginning of a relationship. As they continue to grow their product range, expand their customer base, and deepen their presence in the Canadian food service market, MK Kosher will be there as their certification partner, their resource, and their advocate within the kosher community.
We look forward to seeing Krystalite GT’s certified cups and packaging products on tables, at events, in restaurants, and across food service operations from coast to coast. The kosher community deserves great packaging. Krystalite GT delivers it. And together, we are going to grow.
