Independent market leader Cepac is positioned as the UK’s leading independent corrugated packaging and display provider with four manufacturing plants in the North of England, offering a full range of services from design to fully merchandised displays. This suggests a potential sales angle focusing on independence and local supply security for national brands.

Innovation and tech The company highlights the use of advanced technologies and smart materials to deliver high-performance corrugated solutions. Sales opportunities exist in offering premium, differentiated packaging and display units that leverage Cepac’s tech stack and R&D capabilities.

Sustainability partnerships Cepac has engaged in decarbonisation efforts through partnerships (e.g., Shell Energy) and emphasizes sustainable materials and high-definition corrugated products. This creates opportunities to pitch eco-friendly packaging solutions and green logistics to sustainability-focused customers.

Growth and expansion Recent expansions and investments, including facility growth in 2022 and recognition from multiple packaging awards, indicate capacity and capability to take on larger or more complex projects, including national and cross-border display campaigns.

Competitive positioning As a smaller, independent provider with a strong customer-centric ethos and a belief in collaboration, Cepac can be positioned as a flexible alternative to larger incumbents for brands seeking responsive service, faster turnarounds, and bespoke display solutions.
