Our Company
We have two operating sites in Leeds that service both domestic and European markets. A recent multi-million pound investment into our South Leeds manufacturing site has provided us with three new extrusion lines and an excellent platform for expansion. The three sites focus on the manufacturing and development of heat shrink film, pallet covers, and pallet hoods, as well as stretch-capable, machine-automated polythene film. A commitment to customer focus and forging strong relationships with clients is paramount to us as a business. If you would like one of our consultants to visit your site and make any professional recommendations, we will gladly do so. We offer bespoke polythene solutions for all your packaging needs.

Over the past few years there has been significant investment across our operating sites. We now boast two state of the art film extrusion and conversion facilities. We now have a production capacity of 18,000 tonnes across nine extrusion lines. We also have four conversion machines that compliment our extrusion lines.
In addition to this, we are currently involved in a multi-million pound investment that will allow for significantly increased manufacturing capacity, providing an excellent platform for growth within domestic and foreign markets as well as diversification into new markets.
We are a certified ISO 9001:2008 company that focuses on the quality management systems for development, manufacturing, and conversion of polythene.
We also hold the BRC Global Standard for Packaging and Packaging Materials, highlighting our continued investment in our manufacturing process as well as the quality of all our products and operating procedures.
In addition to our accreditations, we are committed members of the trade association PAFA and have a conscious corporate social responsibility towards health and safety and the environment.
We take our responsibilities as a manufacturer very seriously. As such, we have a comprehensive structure to sustainability. We are responsible for our people. We have comprehensive company health and safety, protecting the health of our employees and optimising working conditions. We engage our employees in training and development.
We take our environmental responsibilities very seriously. Not only do we offer Marpak Green but we also proactively offer down-gauging and weight reduction, which in turn protects natural resources, and offers direct reduction in CO2 emissions during production and further reductions during transport. We also offer life cycle assessments to our customers.
We helped a large packaging supplier make substantial cost savings through using Total’s advanced metallocene blend. This film is just as strong as the previously used material with the same mechanical properties, but thinner. By using this material we were able to down-gauge it’s film to 80mu and therefore make huge cost savings across all their sites.
