Duraweld acquires Prima

Established over 20 years ago, Prima designs and manufactures quality folding card and PVC high frequency welded products. Its products range from printed and plain folding cartons, corrugated cartons, and POS folders and pockets, through to ring binders, PVC pockets, and paper-over-board boxes and folders. Its clients include retailers, educational institutions, councils, and the NHS.

Founded in 1959, circa 50-staff Duraweld designs and manufactures a wide range of packaging and stationery products for customers from the NHS to the FA, working across sectors such as healthcare and retail.

Headed up by managing director Mark Yeung, it has a purpose-built factory which includes in-house screen printing, digital printing, inline paper-over-board wrapping, high-frequency welding, sonic welding, digital and hydraulic cutting, foil-blocking, and embossing.

Yeung said: “As a market leader in customised stationery and packaging, Prima further extends our range of products, enabling us to continue to expand the business.

“In such a competitive sector, it’s vital to keep looking to the future and planning for growth – the acquisition of Prima will make a significant contribution to our business, adding to our skilled team and building on the solid foundations we have established.”
