The restructure heralds the launch of two new brands, McLaren Presentation and McLaren Divisions, which join McLaren Corrugate to form three divisions under the umbrella organisation McLaren Packaging Group.

McLaren Presentation, comprising the companies formerly known as McLaren Packaging (Tubes), Blue Box Design and Compack Cartons, will produce high quality presentation packaging: rigid boxes, tubes, and cartons.

McLaren Divisions, comprising the companies formerly known as Interlok Divisions and Glenhaze, will produce protective packaging: solidboard and cardboard divisions and fitments.

McLaren Corrugate will continue to produce protective packaging: cases, trays, wraparounds and fitments in corrugated board.

McLaren Packaging Group managing director, Donald McLaren, said: “This comprehensive restructure streamlines our portfolio under a clearer, stronger organisation that makes sense for our customers.

“Not only does it meet their future needs through enabling simpler navigation of our products and services, but it reinforces our values as an independent business and bolsters our support to the wider food and drinks industry and Scotland’s economy.”

McLaren Packaging Group was established in 1979 as an independent supplier of corrugated cases to the whisky industry. It has since grown to sales of £40 million across a wide range of paper-based packaging, primarily for the UK food and drinks sector.

Employing over 300 people and operating across seven sites in Central Scotland, it is an independently owned and operated run business supplying small independent operators through to large multi-national organisations.
