The Schumacher Packaging Group, one of the largest family-run manufacturers of corrugated and solid board packaging solutions, has now officially renamed its new production site in the English city of Birmingham: on 1 April 2020, Jaffabox Ltd became Schumacher Packaging Ltd.

The group acquired Jaffabox, a manufacturer of various corrugated board packaging solutions that is also family-run, in November 2019. At the same time, a generational shift took place in the family that used to own the company: Annette Amyes is now Managing Director in the Birmingham plant, and her brother Mark has the role of Sales Director.

The rebranding of the English plant emphasizes that customers from the United Kingdom can now also access the entire range of solutions offered by the European Schumacher Packaging Group – including consultation, services and logistics. Although the plant in Birmingham is already at a high technological level, the group plans to push ahead with further expansion there as well.
