Manufacturing, inside your premises.

In-plant partnerships have been our biggest differentiator for over twenty years. We bring the cells, the people and the engineering inside the customer's filling site, so the bottle is made metres from where it is filled.

In-plant production at a customer filling site

Why customers choose the in-plant model.

Plastic bottles are big, light and expensive to move. Manufacturing them next door to where they are filled removes transport miles, shrinks lead times to hours, and lets two engineering teams sit in the same room every day.

How an in-plant partnership works.

A repeatable model, refined since our first in-plant at Oakthorpe in 2000.

  1. 01

    Scope the partnership

    We model volumes, SKUs, footprint and contractual structure with you.

  2. 02

    Build inside your site

    Cells, services, tooling and engineering installed inside your filling hall.

  3. 03

    Run alongside you

    Our operators and engineers shift-for-shift with yours, sharing site standards.

  4. 04

    Evolve together

    Volumes, SKUs and engineering grow over years, not contracts.
