Petainer opens corporate headquarter in UK to support expansion plans

Specialist plastics packaging technology business Petainer has opened a new corporate head office in Peterborough, UK, to support the company’s future business growth and international expansion – particularly in the development of new large PET containers for beverages and other applications.

Petainer has manufacturing plants in Sweden, the Czech Republic and Germany but the holding company is a UK-registered business and the major investors are UK businesses or individuals.

Group chief executive Nigel Pritchard said: “We are aiming to build the business both organically and by acquisition on a worldwide basis with new manufacturing and sales operations. We are substantially increasing our product range, particularly with large containers such as our new Petainer Keg. We are also developing our capability to deliver complete turnkey packaging solutions. The UK – and Peterborough in particular – is well located to serve our expanding geographic interests.”
