Eco Flexibles wins consecutive awards

For the second consecutive year, Eco Flexibles has emerged victorious at the Whitworths Supplier Conference, with the UK-based sustainable flexible packaging specialist clinching a solutions award for the second year running.

The win follows Eco Flexibles’ support on delivering over 150 new SKUs for Whitworths and customer, Holland & Barrett. Resulting in a fully recyclable monopolymer structure, the project was notable for tight turnaround lead times, a high quantity of product SKUs and comprehensive Eco Flexibles support from artwork creation and platemaking, through to film production and delivery.

Whitworths, a renowned brand specializing in dried fruit, nuts, home baking, and snack products, hosts its annual conference to share its vision, values, and strategy with suppliers while recognizing exceptional supply chain partners who have consistently exceeded expectations. 

Simon Buswell, director at Eco Flexibles, said: 'We are honored to have been recognized with a solutions award for the second consecutive year. It’s a tremendous achievement for our team, and a fantastic example of why our business is expanding at such speed.

As a result, we have built strong bonds with powerhouse clients such as Whitworths. This solutions award is a testament to our unwavering commitment to our partnership and the success of our innovative business model in the UK.'

Olivier Orphelin, director of procurement at Whitworths, praised the exceptional support provided by Eco Flexibles, stating: 'The Eco Flexibles team has provided fantastic support as we look to continually improve the sustainable credentials of our business.' He continued, 'The exemplary service level and commitment of Eco Flexibles were absolutely key in helping us to deliver this complex project successfully, on time and beyond all expectations.
