Time for a #Rethink

NNZ takes up the challenge to #RETHINK your packaging

Welcome to NNZ UK If you have not come across NNZ already – we are a family owned and run multinational packaging company, established in 1922. Over the years we have grown into an organisation with more than 250 employees, serving clients from offices in Austria, BeNeLux, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, South Africa, United Kingdom, USA.

In the UK we are merging LBK Packaging (who became part of the NNZ family 5 years ago) into the NNZ brand and we have three offices in Glasgow, Liverpool, and Castle Donnington, each with a dedicated team ready to help you. Using our knowledge, expertise, and our significant packaging network, we work with you to develop the right packaging solutions for your business in the fresh produce and industrial markets, making us a one stop shop for all your requirements. Not only that we aim to do this as sustainably and efficiently as possible. Letting you get on with running your own business in the safe knowledge we have your back where your packaging is concerned.

Meet Siobhan The NNZ UK division is headed up by Siobhan Fotheringham, who joined us in May 2020, just as the first covid lockdown hit! Overnight Siobhan had to flex and support the business with the factory team on site and learning a new business through teams, zoom, Google meet and Skype, whilst making sure NNZ still delivered for all our amazing customers. It has been an interesting time, navigating Brexit, Covid and now plastic taxes!

By using her successful background working in the food and drinks sector in commercial roles from cereal to fish, and from soft drinks to tinned veg, she has managed to support the team and our customers through a really challenging time.

So, What’s Next? At NNZ, we are committed to bringing you the best innovation and sustainable solutions, and with this in mind we recently attended Logistica, where we met new potential customers, berry farmers and produce suppliers looking for sustainable options and ways to reduce their plastic tax liability.

We also met with current suppliers to discuss the challenges arising from the war in Ukraine and to find options to mitigate the challenges we are all facing, including price increases, planning for raw materials, ensuring we supply sustainable solutions. The NNZ group welcomed exciting new suppliers on board too meaning we have an even more extensive offer to support your business. Exciting times are ahead, so watch this space.

#RETHINK With all the new options in our portfolio and as this year we are celebrating our 100-year anniversary and we are aiming to make it an extra special year for our teams and our customers.To celebrate this, we are launching #RETHINK – a free audit of all your packaging – to see how we can offer you more sustainable, impactful, dependable, and affordable packaging whilst balancing food shelf life, protection of your products, OTR levels (oxygen transmission rates) and load bearing for industrial products.

So why not give Craig or Gordon a call in our Glasgow office and see how we can help you with making the right choices for your business and our planet – let us help you #rethink your packaging!
