Strategic Alliance for KM Packaging and Ispack
Specialist packaging supplier KM Packaging Services Ltd has expanded its strategic alliance with Istanbul-based Ispak, part of the international manufacturing group Kibar Holding, to further develop the supply of confectionery and dairy aluminium foil based flexible packaging to the UK, US and Australian markets.
Specialist packaging supplier KM Packaging Services Ltd has expanded its strategic alliance with Istanbul-based Ispak, part of the international manufacturing group Kibar Holding, to further develop the supply of confectionery and dairy aluminium foil based flexible packaging to the UK, US and Australian markets.
Food packaging specialist KM has recently launched a number of new innovative solutions for lidding and luxury confectionery coupled with the recent expansion of its commercial team. Ispak, a long-established supplier of foil based flexible packaging, is a sister company of Assan Aluminium which produces rolled aluminium foil at the same manufacturing site in Istanbul. The product range includes rotogravure printed unsupported foils, extrusions and laminates and heat-seal coated foils and benefits from the vertical integration of the Assan and Ispak companies on foil supply.
The new alliance will maximise the two companies’ respective strengths: Ispak in manufacturing and KM in logistics, supply chain management and local technical expertise. Both companies have reputations for technical innovation and a range of international accreditations endorsing quality, environment and hygiene standards. The new link builds on an already well-established trading relationship in flexible packaging between UK food companies and Turkish flexible packaging manufacturers.
KM Packaging Commercial Director Graham Holding explained: “The international confectionery market is always looking for a point of difference, a new texture or finish that will stand out on the shelf. Food manufacturers also demand rapid turnaround and, of course, top quality print and reliable production and delivery. By combining the strengths of Ispak – with whom we have partnered for some time – and KM Packaging we can easily meet the demands of key players in the UK and International markets, helping to fill the gap that has been created by the closure of other European manufacturers.
“It’s not so much that there’s a ‘new kid on the block’ as our combined experience in these markets adds up to several decades. KM already serves customers - from small food companies to major corporates - across the UK and Europe and as far afield as Canada, North and South America, Australia and New Zealand. We’re just delighted that strengthening the relationship with Ispak will enhance our offering and output and enable us to effectively service an even wider market.”
