About the business

Our client is a well-established, family-rooted packaging provider with a heritage stretching back more than 80 years. The company specialises in fibre-based packaging solutions — from corrugated cardboard and rigid cartons to premium folding cartons and fully custom, brand-tailored packaging.

Serving both food and non-food sectors, their portfolio spans standard bulk shipping boxes, transport-ready corrugated cartons, as well as high-end “luxury look and feel” packaging used for products such as cosmetics, confectionery, or other premium goods.

Beyond packaging manufacturing, the business offers a full-service approach: from initial design and printing, through die-cutting, folding and gluing, to full automated packaging-line solutions when required.

Their emphasis on sustainability — recyclable materials, efficient use of cardboard, and environmentally-aware production — is integrated into their operations and value proposition. Positioned as a reliable and flexible partner, the company supports both small bespoke runs and larger industrial scale packaging demands, offering a wide range of customization in size, shape, printing, and finishing.
