Pff Packaging

PFF Group is very proud of its story as a UK manufacturer. Husband & wife team Andy and Michelle Bairstow founded the business in 1993 to make making plastic packaging for cosmetics, toiletries and gifts. What has followed has been a family legacy spanning almost 30 years. Long hours, risk-taking and solid investment in estate and machinery have earned PFF its respected place in the UK packaging world, with a clutch of glittering packaging industry product design awards and accolades. PFF Packaging Group is now one of the UK’s largest independent food packaging manufacturers, having matured into an independent giant in the UK plastics industry with customer-driven innovation, sustainability and creativity as key drivers. We are an agile, influential ‘interrupter’. During the Covid pandemic, we successfully adapted and diversified at a time of national need, to make disposable aprons destined for use by UK NHS and social care staff. Robert Atkin was appointed as Group Managing Director in September 2023 which enabled Kenton Robbins to focus on the strategic development of PFF, in his new role as Chief Executive Officer. PFF Group are genuine pioneers in the plastics industry who remain committed to being at the forefront of the latest manufacturing technologies and cutting-edge processes. The business is a stoic advocate for anticipating customer needs. In amongst this is recognition of plastic as an essential, recyclable material for the modern world. We are immensely thankful to the people who work here. The PFF leadership team provides strategic planning and guidance but on a day-to-day basis, it is our loyal staff, many of whom are long-serving, that enable the business to operate 24/7 - and to thrive.
