VPK Group reached an agreement to acquire a minority share in Ribble, the UK corrugated cardboard company specialising in fanfold.
Ribble traces its origins back to 1938 and is based in Oldham, Lancashire. The company achieved a turnover of Euro 40 million in 2022 and employs more than 100 people. With more than 80 years of experience in the corrugated board industry, 30 years of which has been in fanfold, Ribble is one of the leading manufacturers of fanfold in the UK.
Acquiring a minority share in Ribble fits perfectly into VPK's long-term vision and objective to invest in sustainable growth and further develop its vertically integrated business model across Europe.
Through the recent acquisition of Zetacarton in Italy - producer of fanfold and niche products such as big-box packaging - and the available fanfold production capacity in Alizay, France, VPK Group will be able to serve e-commerce logistics distribution centres across Europe.
Having its own nearby paper mills in Belgium and France, VPK has a guaranteed supply of recycled paper used as raw material for the production of corrugated packaging.
VPK Packaging is an international supplier of corrugated packaging.
