We thought we would share our PortaBuddies with you - click on their links below if you require any more information.
Alexir Ltd
These guys have an uncanny ability to sail rather close to the wind - on a sailing boat of course! Clever lot with a true passion and understanding for eco and consumer-friendly carton packaging. One of the first FSC certified carton plants in the UK.
API Laminates Ltd
PortaBio® – Paul – frustrated rock star with a shiny glint in his eye.
Blue Boar Hotel
PortaBrands (unofficial) headquarters - quientessential 14th c. English coaching inn, with resident ghost (according to Ian), lively conversations held in the Tap Room and a micro brewery on the premises!
Brookes Batchellor LLP
Watch out for David – he always has a cunning plan.
Clydesdale Bank
Good guys – blind football goalie bank manager.
CRP Print & Packaging Ltd
Boy these guys work (and play) hard. Eddie the MD is a terrible dancer, but rather good at negotiating ... a slow waltz! If you want to see what true British innovation is all about - go and meet these people and tour their state-of-the-art factories in a dreadful town famous for the Corby Trouser Press!
Cullen Packaging Ltd
Watch out Finnish friends – the Scots have arrived – prepare to be pulped!
Dempson Packaging Ltd
The owner and MD, Jon sounds like Lloyd Grossman and wears cowboy boots - gets our vote for a thorougly decent and mixed-up kind of man. What these guys don't know about 'green' paper bags is not worth printing!
Graphic Packaging International Ltd
Oooh, ahhh, anyone fancy some cider? All deliveries made on traactooors!
Inspirepac
Inspirepac are probably the most well invested, flexible and creative corrugated carton/display operation in Europe. Two plants based in Wetherby and Chesterfield. Great people, well managed business and have a passion for all things shiny and black!
Korsnäs
Viking M.D. – hide your women!
MSO Cleland Ltd
Full of Irish charm – PortaDrink rocks.
Nampak Cartons Ltd
Huge carton group with factories all over planet Earth! We particularly like and trust Chris Stoke - one of their exceptionally talented business development/sales managers. It's all about people - whatever the name over the factory/office door.
Pro Carton International
Pro Carton looks after the collective interests of the international carton industry. It educates and informs people about the positive benefits of carton packaging. Richard does a rather fine job of representing everyone's interests in an unbiased, balanced and non-profit kind of way. Their website is well worth a visit for all sorts of interesting stuff.
Silkstream Ltd
Our website designer – if you like this website, check out Leigh’s others.
Welton Bibby & Baron Ltd
If you are looking for paper bags, like Costa Coffee - these are the people for you!
