Croxsons teams up with UKVA to support UK wine

Packaging Solutions

With involvement in the wine industry spanning over 140 years, leading glass packaging company Croxsons has become a Gold Patron of the UKVA (United Kingdom Vineyards Association).

Tim Croxson said, ‘Being the sole glass bottle manufacturer to be accepted as a Gold Patron of the UKVA is in itself a great honour and we are delighted to be associated with such a key industry organisation. We are dedicated to supporting our customers and their industries and look forward to what the future holds.’

The company prides itself on customer relationships ­– ‘A Family of Packaging’ – a statement recently included in the revamped logo design, which conveys the importance they place in nurturing its business relationships. A good example of this is Croxsons’ on-going association with Devon based Lyme Bay Winery, the majority of whose glass range is filled into bottles sourced by Croxsons. Whilst the Lyme Bay range includes some standard varieties like the 750 ml and 375 ml Bordeaux wines with BVS closures, it also has some rarities that Croxsons has provided through a tailored solution, such as the 350 ml Avenire and 350 ml Lyrica.

James Lambert, Lyme Bay’s managing director, commented: ‘We have worked with Croxsons for many years and it forms a core part of our supply chain. The company provides us with a wide range of glass bottles and is always able to adapt to our ever changing needs. Tits flexibility is excellent and we work well with the experienced team. Croxsons is also a member of the UKVA which clearly indicates its commitment to the industry.’

Croxsons will be exhibiting on stand F44 at the forthcoming Packaging Innovations at the NEC.
