Record revenues and investment as McLaren Packaging cheers 40th year

Port Glasgow-headquartered McLaren Packaging Group has marked its 40th anniversary with record turnover and investment as it looks to “future-proof” the family-run business.

Established as a supplier of corrugated cases to the whisky industry, the company has, over the years, expanded its operations at six facilities across central Scotland, totalling some 200,000 square feet.

The firm, which was turning over £8 million a decade ago, has now surpassed its target of achieving £20m in revenues by 2020. It now employs some 240 staff and is on track to turn over in excess of £30m in the current financial year.

The company has just invested £2.2m in a new production line to enhance its printing and die-cutting capacity and support the future growth of its corrugate business.
