ePac Flexible Packaging to open second facility in UK

ePac Flexible Packaging, one of the industry leaders in custom flexible packaging, has confirmed it will be adding a second sales and manufacturing location in Sheffield, UK, further expanding its manufacturing capacity in Europe.

Adding to existing operations in Silverstone, ePac Sheffield will serve CPG brands throughout Northern England, Scotland, and Ireland. When combined with existing sites in Poland, France, and the previously announced site in Innsbruck, Austria, ePac has comprehensive and growing coverage throughout Europe.

‘Since opening our first European plant in Silverstone in Dec 2019, we’ve grown steadily, not only in the UK but in regions across Europe,’ commented Johnny Hobeika, managing director of ePac Europe. ‘Our new sales and manufacturing location in Sheffield will get us even closer to our local and regional brands, as well as larger brands with a pan-European or global presence.

‘Furthermore, we have recently launched ePacONE (One Network Everywhere), a proprietary cloud-based system that connects all 24 ePac locations across the globe, enabling our customers to have their jobs produced at scale, when they’re needed, where they’re needed. Additionally, with ePacConnect, our connected packaging solution, brands can discover new ways to enhance their communication with consumers.’
