Clear Plastic Group reconditions its Scottish unit to integrate the manufacturing unit of Alplast's business, owned by the Group. This centralisation forms a one-stop-shop for the design and manufacture of clear plastic promotional packaging.
Clear Plastic Group’s Plastech has reconditioned its Scottish facility to integrate the manufacturing unit of Alplast’s business, which it acquired three years ago.
Plastech has bought Buckinghanshire-based business unit Alplast in 2007; however, has moved the manufacturing unit of its business to its own 4,000 sq. m facility at Glenrothes, Scotland and concluded a significant refurbishment programme in 2010.
The integration of business is going to provide clients with a one-stop-shop for the design and manufacture of clear plastic promotional packaging with the aim of retail stores.
Tom Stirling, managing director of Plastech, has stated that it is good to centralize “the packaging operation at our headquarters, where we have a highly skilled staff and an excellent manufacturing and support infrastructure already in place”.
The agreement outlined that the former owners of Alplast had retired from the business within a year of the deal, when the financial administration was seeped into Plastech.
The management of Plastech asserted that it has included the plastic die-cutting, carton folding and gluing, and box lid and base processes at its Glenrothes site to derive the better economies of scale.
