Expansion underway at Spectra Packaging

Packaging Solutions

UK based Spectra Packaging has recently started expansion work to meet increased customer demand.

Suffolk based Spectra was established just under 10 years ago and has already grown to employ around 130 people on its 17.4 acre purpose built site.

With an existing bespoke plant the company’s long term vision for the site includes three further units.

Groundwork foundations have been set for the steel frame of the latest new buildings, which are intended to be finished by the end of this year and operational by the end of April 2018, with additional jobs likely to be created as a result.

Joe Maynard, managing director at Spectra, says the current construction work is a measure of how far the company has come in just less than 10 years since its launch.

He said, ‘It is hugely satisfying to see the next phase of Spectra’s history unfold. We have made the bold decision to increase the size of our site in order to satisfy increased demand and we can’t wait to see the new buildings in full production.

Making sure we have the capacity to continually provide outstanding quality, service and innovation is vital in maintaining our reputation. The fact that we have the trust of a number of leading high street brands is proof of our credentials to deliver and further expansion will help us maintain this.’
