ABOUT US

ABOUT DODGE CORK

The name Dodge and cork have been united since 1880's.  the relaunch of Dodge Cork is founded on the mission of introducing a new generation to the commercial and environmental benefits of using natural cork rather than the cheaper synthetic.


With the onset of industrialization and western migration in the U.S., there was an increased demand for cork closures.  Since Lancaster, Pa was known as the gateway city for this migration.  G.W. Dodge and his son, B.G. Dodge went on to grow their business into the second-largest cork company in America in 1895.

CORK ATTRIBUTES

The name Dodge and Cork have been synonymous since 1871.  The relaunch of Dodge Cork Company is founded on the need to streamline the sourcing of cork stoppers, plugs, and closures.

RESPONSIBLE

Over half the extracted cork is used in the manufacture of all types of stoppers, the rest being used in other applications.  Thus the cork and wine industries share the same responsibility; not only do they maintain a key economic activity but also contribute to the visibility of the cork oak forest.

SUSTAINABLE

Cork's sustainability is based on biology and is incontestable, recognized by the World Wildlife Fund the Rainforest Alliance and other environmental organizations.  The bark is harvested without damage to the tree, which after harvesting immediately begins to grow new bark.  After nine years the bark is ready to be harvested again.

UNIQUE

Just like cork stoppers, Dodge Cork is unlike any other cork company, operating today.  We pride ourselves on providing extraordinary customer service, product knowledge, technical experts, and a commitment to sustainable products.  We have carried on the unique craft of harvesting the benefits of the wood without harming a tree.
