John Young, sales and marketing director of KeCo Foodservice Packaging Ltd., said: “Having more than doubled our workforce since we started, such commitment to investment within the company and the products we develop is proven by our strong sales growth.
“We’re very proud of what we’ve achieved so far, and further investment in our people and products to maintain demand for our packaging concepts continues.”
Since the company started in 2015 it has experienced sales growth year-on-year. Consumer preferences since 2015 have evolved to include the environmental impact of packaging.
Young added: “When KeCo was founded, the company’s primary focus was to service the fish and chip sector with specifically produced packaging products to meet the changing demands in material requirements.
“As a result of servicing the core suppliers to this market, it was quickly realised there was a need for local production of other packaging items – like folded carton boxes.
“It was then KeCo and its directors invested in the site location at Kimbolton, Cambridgeshire; with the aim of producing what is now an established range of premium quality disposable packaging solutions.”
KeCo’s new product range StrEAT was inspired by global cuisine and the street food trend. The range is 100% recyclable, biodegradable and manufactured in the UK.
