The company has agreed to partner with independent corrugated packaging manufacturer De Jong Packaging Holding (DJV) based in De Lier, Netherlands. This exciting new partnership will ensure the ambition of eCorrugated Ltd to become the UK’s largest independent, lowest cost, and sustainable corrugated manufacturer will be realised.
“I am delighted that we have come together with De Jong Packaging, their business philosophy and our shared values will ensure our common goals are achieved. From my first meeting with Henk De Jong the owner of De Jong Packaging and Ad Smit CEO it was clear that we would develop a trusting relationship that would be to the benefit of all our valued customers and also both parties” says Paul Lavelle, Managing Director of eCorrugated Ltd.
Ad Smit CEO of De Jong Packaging commented: “We are extremely happy to have come together with a company such as eCorrugated Ltd. We immediately recognised their total commitment to the highest level of customer service which is aligned to the same principles of De Jong Packaging. We are looking forward to an exciting future in the UK and Irish markets.”
The acquisition by De Jong Packaging of a majority shareholding in eCorrugated Ltd will strengthen its business activities. eCorrugated Ltd will continue its operations under its own name with a high level of independence.
