“BoxWay is totally committed to supporting existing and new customers by providing an independent and entrepreneurial approach to like-minded businesses on a national basis. With the help of some exciting investment plans our ambition is to grow into new markets and alongside evolving challenger brands.

We are in a very fortunate position to have an excellent regional spread across the three sites to deliver our services on a nationwide basis and respond to current and future customer needs as and when required.”

Our workforce

We currently have a total of approximately 70 staff employed across the two plants with a significant number of long-serving employees. We are committed to working closely with our staff by ensuring that they are empowered and involved in decision making.

A snapshot of our history

Our sites have been operating since 1985 when they were opened by Bowater. The Exeter and Peterlee sites were under the ownership of SCA in August 2008 when SAICA acquired the UK SCA conventional corrugated business. BoxWay Packaging Group acquired the plants and became the official owner on 1st June 2021.

Our regional spread

We have an excellent regional spread across the two sites to deliver our ‘Fleet of Foot’ service on a nationwide basis.

We offer nationwide coverage with our Peterlee Plant in County Durham servicing our customers in the North of England and our Exeter Plant in Devon covering the South of England. Both plants are located in business parks close to major motorways and transport links.

Our sustainability

Our commitment to being sustainable and friendly to the environment is at the heart of everything we do.

In line with the government law of achieving zero greenhouse gas net emissions by 2050, BoxWay Packaging Group are committed to delivering by this date, if not sooner. Some of our plans include:

  • Energy - solar panels are installed in Exeter to provide a sustainable form of energy for the production process
  • Lighting - we are in the process of changing all of our lighting to LED
  • Recycling - all of our cardboard packaging is 100% recyclable
  • Product certification - all BoxWay sites are FSC certified by the Forest Stewardship Council® meaning that we help support the future of forests and the people and wildlife who call them home
