Schumacher Packaging buys British Jaffabox

German Schumacher Packaging Group acquired British corrugated board and packaging manufacturer Jaffabox Ltd on 5 November 2019.

Jaffabox is based in Birmingham and operates a modern corrugator and four high-speed production lines that can manufacture over 50,000 plain and printed boxes per hour, according to the company's website. The portfolio includes shipping boxes, shelf-ready packaging and customised solutions.

Schumacher Packaging says this take-over will secure a strategically important location in Europe and bring about logistical advantages for international customers with locations in the UK. With Jaffabox, Schumacher Packaging will offer them a local point of contact, which might be especially important given the impending Brexit.
