Antalis to step up regional packaging hub programme

ANTALIS has revealed plans to extend its regional network of packaging hubs across the country.

Over the past year, the firm has established regional branches in Scotland, Newcastle, Leeds, Dartford and Watford. A programme of acquisitions has also led to the setting up similar hubs in Coventry, Northampton and Spalding. Antalis said further branches will now be opened in the coming year.

Sales director David Smith said, “Antalis has a tremendous reputation for quality and service, which in recent years has seen our thriving packaging division go from strength to strength and establish itself as a key supplier to many large blue chip companies operating in the food, retail, logistics and industrial sectors.

“With the global packaging market set to grow to almost £270 billion by 2023, as the third largest e-commerce market in the world, the UK is undoubtedly a key growth area. Through our extensive experience, we’ve identified that many UK firms now want to work with a locally-based team of experts who can use their local knowledge to provide invaluable services such as factory and warehouse audits through to advice on machinery and bespoke pack designs.

“By drawing on our multi-national capabilities, the expansion of our regional packaging hubs across the UK is doing just that, providing customers with a one stop shop with a local feel where they can come for all their packaging needs.”
