WBC acquires Transpack to strengthen packaging offering

Packaging Solutions

Wine Box Company (WBC), a trading division of Premier Paper Group Limited, has acquired the wholesale packaging business Transpack Limited.

Established in 1953, Transpack is a respected wholesale packaging supplier specialising in polythene bags, cellophane bags, and eco friendly packaging solutions. The acquisition is highly complementary to WBC’s existing operations and further strengthens the group’s range, expertise, and capacity across its growing packaging division.

Michael Beever, group CEO of Premier Paper Group, commented: ‘We are delighted to welcome Transpack into the group and are excited to support it in the next phase of its development. Transpack will be a valuable addition to the WBC business, which we acquired in 2022, and represents another important step in our strategy to expand our packaging offering across the group. Premier, WBC, and Transpack share many of the same values, and this acquisition will create opportunities across the business through the sharing of knowledge and expertise.’

Simon Wright, managing director of WBC, added: ‘The acquisition of Transpack will significantly enhance the product portfolio we offer and further strengthen the group’s ability to deliver solution driven packaging to our customers. I believe the addition of Transpack, and the opportunities it creates, will enable the group to deliver against our existing growth plans within the packaging division.’

Craig Schweitzer, managing director of Transpack, said: ‘Becoming part of the WBC and Premier Paper Group family marks an exciting new chapter for Transpack. This evolution allows us to offer our customers access to an even wider range of products and services, market leading innovations, and enhanced value – all underpinned by the same first class customer service they have come to expect.’

Transpack has an excellent reputation within the industry and is a five star reviewed business. Its offices and warehouse will remain in Southampton, alongside WBC’s existing offices in Herne Hill and warehouse facilities in Crawley.
