Flexipol to expand product offering through integration of Synpac and Palagan

Flexipol, the specialist manufacturer of sacks, bags, liners and pouches is integrating with Synpac and Palagan to provide one commercial offering. The integration will increase the diversity of innovative products offered to customers and reduce lead times, whilst maintaining the three differentiated brands Flexipol, Synpac and Palagan, each recognised as market leaders in food packaging, vacuum bags and industrial packaging respectively.

For several years, the three flexible packaging brands have been working alongside each other as part of Synnovia, the high volume components and consumables manufacturing specialist for niche applications. With Flexipol, Synpac and Palagan offering diverse flexible packaging solutions, the combination will provide customers access to a wider range of packaging innovations, all manufactured in the UK.

This integration will increase production efficiency across multiple production sites to give customers even better service. Flexipol will be able to respond even faster to customers, reducing lead times on all products. Flexipol customers will also benefit from an expanded product offering. In addition, Flexipol has invested in all three manufacturing sites, providing 25% additional capacity.

The process to bring these businesses together with three strong brands started in June 2019 and is set to be complete by the end of 2020.  Customers will be supported with larger sales and innovation teams, offering more specific technical expertise. Production and sales support will remain in each of the three UK manufacturing sites. These three production sites will further reduce supply chain risk for Flexipol customers.

“We will offer a unique range of specialist technical packaging solutions across the food and non-food sectors, meeting the most challenging packaging issues faced by British processors and manufacturers” reported Richard Stevens, Flexipol’s Managing Director.

Flexipol partners with industrial businesses across almost every industry sector. Through technical collaboration, innovation and extraordinary service, Flexipol designs and manufactures industry leading differentiated flexible packaging.
