Staeger Clear Packaging has won the “Packaging Company of the Year Award” at the UK Packaging Awards 2009.
At a glittering ceremony held at Grosvenor House, London on 4 November the company scooped the top prize, beating off fierce competition from its rivals.
The UK Packaging Awards are the most prestigious in the industry. “Packaging Company of the Year” is the top accolade and the most coveted of all prizes. Our photograph shows Managing Director Ian Jamie, with his wife Pippa who live at Weston under Wetherley receiving the award.
Since its acquisition by the Stäger Group of Switzerland, the Coventry based rigid plastic carton manufacturer has gone from strength to strength.
The judges were particularly impressed by the Company’s financial performance in the current challenging market. Staeger Clear’s turnover has more than doubled in the past 5 years and it continues to invest in new facilities and new markets, with expansion in China a major objective.
The environment is an important factor in the world today and Staeger Clear has spearheaded the use of recycled materials in its production of plastic cartons. The judges commented on the company’s success in going from zero to 80% of turnover in rPET, recycled PET, as a major initiative.
All-in-all the achievement of Staeger Clear Packaging can be summed up in the words of the judges who said: “The passion for what they do is an attribute of the whole team. They are a worthy winner”.
