Six months after acquiring Colpac Limited, Sabert Corporation Europe has outlined its long-term growth strategy, combining organic expansion, ESG-led innovation and operational discipline as it integrates the business.
The food packaging group said it aims to grow both scale and profitability, supported by customer service, product development and investment across its operations. Alex Noake, Managing Director of Sabert’s European business area, said: “This growth ambition is matched by a clear focus on profitability, operational excellence, and capital discipline, ensuring the business grows in the most resilient and sustainable way.”
Sabert’s strategy centres on accelerating organic sales across its core product ranges while continuing to design bespoke packaging for global food brands. ESG themes are positioned at the centre of innovation, particularly in response to tightening regulatory and customer expectations across food-to-go and delivery markets.
The company highlighted the launch of PULP Ultra®, described as a no-intentionally-added-PFAS formulation made from more than 95% bagasse fibres. It also pointed to recyclable paperboard platters with newly developed lids, alongside continued development of paperboard, pulp and plastic solutions intended to balance functional performance with reduced environmental impact.
Behind the scenes, Sabert said it is making targeted investments across its supply chain, manufacturing capabilities and systems to support growth. The recent acquisition of Colpac was described as strategically and culturally aligned, with the group remaining open to future opportunities where there is a clear fit.
Andrew Grimbaldeston, Sabert’s European Commercial Director, added: “We believe that the strongest results are achieved where there is a shared focus on building sustainable growth together, with our colleagues all working towards a common goal.”
Concluding, Noake said: “We have a clear global vision for where we want to take the business. Our focus is on growing the Sabert brand, supported by meaningful innovation, strategic investment and a relentless focus on execution as we construct an even stronger business for the long-term.”
