UK Packaging Associations Proposed Merger

The Flexible Packaging Association and the Packaging and Industrial Films Association, the UK's two leading packaging trade organisations have put forward details of a proposed merger.

In a joint statement, the associations said the move reflects the changing shape of the UK and world packaging marketplace. This has meant the two groups’ historical differences in market focus being overtaken by new and common business challenges that can be better represented through a single larger body.

PIFA chief executive David Tyson said: "Our associations have very different skills and strengths which, when combined, will result in a far more powerful and focused organisation with stronger representation of our members’ interests."

The associations claim a new combined organisation will represent more than 80% of the UK flexible and rigid packaging and industrial films market and a combined turnover of £2bn.

According to the statement, the merger comes at a time when UK industry faces an increasing burden of legislative and regulatory measures, as well as rapidly rising raw material and energy costs.
