Packaging Solutions

Wolf Packaging, whose UK business is based in Birmingham, received orders for over 300 machines in 2018, while the group’s profitable revenue exceeded €30 million for the first time in the company’s history.

Managing director UK, Andy Neal, said: ‘We enjoyed significant growth in 2018, thanks to a huge upturn in the snacks market.

‘Our UK business opened a dedicated office in Birmingham in May 2018 with UK based service engineers to further strengthen our business in Britain and Ireland. We also opened a Russian office to extend our direct sales reach and to provide service as well as spare parts in the region.

‘Looking ahead, we will be opening an office in Dubai to cover the UAE and the Middle East later this year.’
