Ribble’s £3.5 million investment into their future

12 April 2021/Categories: CILT, Industry News, Freight Forwarding, Logistics & Supply Chain


In 2020, Oldham-based packaging solutions provider Ribble Packaging successfully completed a £3.5 million investment project which included a warehouse extension and the installation of various state-of-the-art machinery. 

Since the completion of Ribble’s investment project in September 2020, the packaging industry has experienced an unprecedented increase in demand as a direct result of Covid-19 and Brexit. Despite the challenges, which have arisen for the industry as a whole, Ribble have thrived due to the operational success of the new machinery installed and extra warehouse space. Within four weeks of the investment projects being commissioned, Ribble had delivered a 25% increase in productivity, allowing them to absorb the demand and maintain high service levels. Further productivity improvements are expected to be gained over the coming months. 

In addition to their own operational productivity, Ribble’s Right Size packaging has proven to be an effective solution for their customers, particularly for retailers. Right Size has allowed businesses to regain control and streamline their packaging process despite the ongoing short-term packaging shortage. Stephen Rector commented on the positive impact Right Sizing has on the packaging industry; “With the events of 2020 and a greater emphasis on the role of ecommerce within the retail industry, we have seen a rise in demand of Right Size technology that can cope with the ever-changing retail landscape.”
