INTRODUCTION  Private family owned company, formed in 1968.  Continual investment in new machinery and work environment  Growth through investment in infrastructure and good relations with customers’ and raw material suppliers.  Many years experience of supply into the following sectors: flour, ingredient, building and aggregate, root crops, animal food, milk powders  Manufacturer of valve, open mouth block bottom, rolled bottom and sewn sacks. 2

Market Share  Largest manufacturer of paper sacks in the UK.  Market leader in flour sacks in the UK.  Largest manufacturer of valve / open mouth block bottom sacks in the UK.  Market leader in sewn sacks in the UK.  Spare capacity across all production lines. 3

Supply of Sacks  Use of high quality Scandinavian sackraft in sacks, i.e. high strength and excellent run ability.  Water based, low migration / taint printing inks.  Not reliant on single production lines for print / manufacture of sacks.  Production lines are fitted with automatic palletisers, which results in better / faster packing of the sacks by our customers. 4

Innovation  Continual review of adhesives for quicker drying / bonding.  Review of construction continually in line with advancements in paper technology, i.e. lighter stronger sackraft.  Technical print in-put for new designs.  Introduction of “flat seal sacks” for better and consistent packing performance.  Expansion into “Safe Seal” open mouth block bottom sacks. 5
