Six months on from Sabert Corporation Europe’s acquisition of Colpac Ltd, food packaging manufacturer Sabert has reaffirmed its ambition to grow significantly the scale and profitability of its global business, underpinned by dedicated customer service, product innovation and continued investment in its people and operations.
The group’s vision focuses on accelerating organic sales growth across its strong and expanding portfolio of core product ranges. This will also be driven by the creative expertise in designing bespoke food packaging solutions, tailored to the specific needs of a diverse portfolio of global food brands.
“This growth ambition is matched by a clear focus on profitability, operational excellence, and capital discipline, ensuring the business grows in the most resilient and sustainable way,” says Alex Noake, Managing Director, Sabert’s European business area.
Sabert’s strategy places Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) themes at the centre of its innovation to support ambitious goals across sustainability and industry advocacy. The company continues to develop the next generation of paperboard, pulp, and plastic solutions, designed to meet and exceed evolving regulatory requirements and customer needs across food-to-go and delivery. This is evidenced by the recent launch of PULP Ultra®, a no-intentionally-added-PFAS formulation made from over 95% bagasse fibres, enabling high-performance and remarkable versatility, as well as recyclable paperboard food platters with newly developed lids for quicker construction. Future product development will continue to balance improved functional performance with reduced environmental impact, while maintaining the quality and reliability customers expect from Sabert.
Behind the scenes, the company is making targeted investments across its supply chain, manufacturing capabilities and systems to support continued growth. Its business functions are aligned to a single, global strategic direction, ensuring the organisation can scale efficiently while maintaining high service levels.
Sabert’s growth and innovation strategy is informed by close collaboration with end-user customers across the food industry. This insight ensures new product development is grounded in real operational requirements, performance needs and regulatory expectations. Sabert brings these solutions to market through a multi-channel approach, working directly with the operators where appropriate, and through deep, long-standing and trusted distributor partnerships that enable scalable and localised delivery.
Noake concludes, “We have a clear global vision for where we want to take the business. Our focus is on growing the Sabert brand, supported by meaningful innovation, strategic investment and a relentless focus on execution as we construct an even stronger business for the long-term.”
