Regal Food Products Group Plc, the food group owners behind household brands, Regal Foods and Yorkshire Baking Company, have acquired Packaging ‘R’ Us – in a deal of undisclosed value. This marks the group’s initial foray into a non-food and drink business.
Packaging ‘R’ Us is a well-established catering supplier, manufacturing and specializing in various disposable food packaging solutions, including foil containers, catering foil, disposable utensils, and plastic containers.
The acquisition comes in response to the groups long-term vision of expanding and strengthening their wholesale and food service offering, whilst providing a diverse product range within their brand portfolio.
Since the recent challenges of Covid-19 and Brexit, the Regal group have identified the importance of becoming a one-stop solution for their customers, delivering services including finished goods, ingredients, and now packaging.
Younis Chaudhry, CEO of Regal Food Products Group Plc, commented: “Following on from our Just Desserts Yorkshire acquisition 18 months ago, we are delighted to be bringing our first non-food and drink business into the Regal group. Acquiring Packaging ‘R’ Us will allow to develop our wholesale arm of the business, whilst offering our customers an eclectic range that will naturally sit alongside our existing products and brands.”
