FLEXIBLE packaging specialist KM Packaging has been reflecting on 40 years of delivering solutions across sectors including fresh produce, ambient, chilled and frozen convenience foods, confectionery, and snacks.
Since its inception in 1984, KM Packaging said the company’s ability to adapt to the ever-changing market has fostered long-term loyalty, with key customers staying with the business since the start.
Reflecting on the journey, MD Frances Busby said, “Our success stems from our strong team culture and commitment to excellence. Transitioning to Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) status has strengthened our laser focus on collaboration and customer-centricity in everything we do.”
The company also attributed its ‘longevity and market leadership’ to its ‘robust’ supply partnerships, which have been nurtured over the years.
Looking ahead, KM Packaging is committed to ‘sustainable growth’, ensuring long-term business viability.
Frances added, “A key part of this strategy is ensuring that we offer recyclable products that cater to our customers’ needs across the globe. Having the right products to meet the individual recyclability agendas of various markets is essential to our continued success and growth.”
KM is dedicated to reducing its carbon footprint by 45% by 2030. The firm has also achieved an AA grade in its BRCGS audit for the past six years, while expansion into Australia and more recently North America highlights its commitment to growing its global presence.
Frances said, “Setting up these entities and recruiting local teams are clear demonstrations of our dedication to providing localised support, backed by our global expertise and round-the-clock service.”
