Pollard Boxes has expanded its Leicester-based luxury packaging manufacturing business with the acquisition of Crusader Foil Blockers.
By Ian Armitage
Luxury packaging manufacturer Pollard Boxes is looking to continue its expansion by acquiring Crusader Foil Blockers.
Crusader will retain its trading name but the entire operation, staff and management have moved into Pollard’s new 1,800-square metre factory at its Leicester site.
The acquisition is an important development for the business and will support the specialist print finishes it uses on luxury packaging.
RAPID GROWTH
Pollard, which produces a wide range of luxury packaging for the home entertainment sector, has experienced significant growth in recent years and has constantly invested in the business to best meet the changing requirements of its customers.
Over 1.5 million pounds have been spent on state-of-the-art high speed box-making machinery, providing one of the highest capacity facilities in Europe.
Pollard moved to a 4,650-square metre purpose-built factory in 2004 and recently built a second facility.
