ASSOCIATE MEMBER PROFILE
Polytarp
Ramps up its Food Wrap Business By Lois Harris
P
olytarp Products became a new associate member of Meat & Poultry Ontario (MPO) in 2021 because the company is looking to better understand the industry, grow its food products customer base, and provide safe, high-quality packaging products to meat manufacturing companies that need them. “If you don’t understand the industry, it’s really difficult to develop a relationship with the customers and provide them with the products they require to get to market,” says Troy McCartan, Polytarp’s product manager. “Joining MPO was the best decision we made to really get a better understanding of who the companies are, what problems and issues occur, and what their pressure points are.” The company makes vertical and horizontal form, fill and seal flow wrap, combo and tote liners, food grade polyethylene bags, gas flush barrier bags, freezer bags and food grade sheeting. It sells and ships products to more than 1,000 clients right across North America.
