German packaging supplier Ratioform has bought Davpack, the UK family-owned packaging supplier. Ratioform's European headquarters and central distribution centre are located in Munich, but the company has eight other sites in Germany, as well as branches in Spain, Switzerland, Italy and Austria. Ratioform now has a database of over 250,000 customers, employs 300 people across Europe, with an additional 30 at Davpack.
Both parties stress that there is no question of redundancy; on the contrary, Ratioform not only intends to keep the Davpack name and maintain its Derby base, but plans to build on the company’s reputation and recent success through an expansion in warehouse capacity, office space and staffing
