W&M Watson Packaging Completes Acquisition of Peter Bryson Packaging Ltd
W&M Watson Packaging Ltd (WMW), one of Scotland's long standing leaders in the new and used cardboard industry, has formally announced the successful acquisition of local polythene product distributor Peter Bryson Packaging (Scotland) Ltd (PBP). While both companies have been proactively working side by side for the past 12 months, WMW, held off on the announcement until both companies were comfortably integrated as one unit. The original Watson warehouse in Glasgow has now doubled in size, providing a storage facility in excess of 100k square foot in Glasgow. This can comfortably accommodate PBP machinery and it's experienced staff. This takes the group's staffing levels up to 49 people. The investment in staffing is seen as a key element in the company's drive to further improve customer service levels.
'We see this as part of a bigger strategy to grow our market share in Scotland while consolidating (and thus strengthening) the market...' says Chris Kelly, Managing Director, W&M Watson Packaging Ltd.
The merger, along with multiple acquisitions these past few months, will give The Watson Group an unrivalled advantage over competitors due to the influx of products and services they can offer their clients in the European market.
