Ellesmere Port, UK-based eCorrugated Ltd has grown significantly to become a leading independent manufacturer of high-volume corrugated packaging. Operating state-of-the-art EMBA converting lines, the company supplies customers across the UK and Ireland.
The company has agreed to partner with independent corrugated packaging manufacturer De Jong Packaging Holding (DJV) based in De Lier, Netherlands. This new partnership will ensure the ambition of eCorrugated Ltd to become one of the UK’s largest independent, lowest cost and sustainable corrugated manufacturers.
The acquisition of a majority shareholding in eCorrugated Ltd by De Jong Packaging will strengthen its business activities. eCorrugated Ltd will continue its operations under its own name with a high level of independence.
“I am delighted that we have come together with De Jong Packaging, their business philosophy and our shared values will ensure our common goals are achieved,” says Paul Lavelle, Managing Director of eCorrugated Ltd. “From my first meeting with Henk De Jong, the owner of De Jong Packaging and Ad Smit, CEO it was clear that we would develop a trusting relationship that would be to the benefit of all our valued customers and also both parties”
Ad Smit, CEO of De Jong Packaging commented, “We are happy to have come together with a company such as eCorrugated. We immediately recognised their total commitment to the highest level of customer service which is aligned to the same principles of De Jong Packaging. We are looking forward to an exciting future in the UK and Irish markets”
