Polythene products and packaging specialist STM Polythene Ltd has rebranded to become STM Packaging Group.
The move was prompted by the Norwich, England-based group’s evolution over the last 12 months, following the late 2011 merger of STM Polythene and then rival manufacturer Shirlplass.
“STM Packaging Group is set to increase its already established reputation and move forward to become one of the key independent UK polythene manufacturers,” the company says.
Extruding, printing and converting a wide range of polythene products, STM Packaging Group now incorporates Sefton Transmail, Shirlplass, The Polythene Company (formerly The Polythene Envelope Company) and Packaging Products Online, the group’s online packaging merchant.
Group managing director Esther Evans says: “This is a really exciting time for the group with new products and services being added to our already very comprehensive market offering.”
In the last 12 months, the company has launched two new brands, Spectrum coloured mailing bags, and Poly-Tough high performance polythene, a “unique blend” of polythene said to give customers greater strength and yield.
The company’s ecommerce site is also set for an upgrade, with new branding launching later this spring.
