Plast-Box S.A.

What Plast-Box S.A. does

Plast-Box S.A. (legal name: Przetwórstwo Tworzyw Sztucznych „Plast-Box" S.A.) is a Polish manufacturer of injection-molded plastic packaging headquartered in Slupsk, founded in 1983 (some sources state 1986). The company produces polypropylene (PP) buckets and containers in round, oval, and rectangular formats ranging from 0.58L to 33L, serving two primary customer verticals: the food industry (with BRC-certified packaging for fish, fruit and vegetable preserves, dairy, and animal feed) and the chemical industry (containers for construction chemicals, paints, household and garden chemicals, and heavy chemicals). Core technologies include proprietary In-Mould Labelling (IML) decoration, an innovative integrated handle design optimized for automatic filling lines, and an in-house regranulation line producing PIR/PCR recycled-content packaging up to 60% recycled material.

The company is publicly listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange under the ticker PBS and operates as part of the Plast-Box Capital Group, which includes three wholly-owned operating subsidiaries: Stark (ice cream, dairy, and ready-meal packaging), Suwary (HDPE canisters, bottles, garden watering cans, and multilayer packaging), and Kartpol Group (cartridges, plungers, and accessories for sealant application in construction and automotive, acquired in 2022). The group also operates Plast-Box Ukraine as a core subsidiary.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time sales of plastic packaging products, with pricing conducted on a quote-based, customized basis rather than publicly disclosed rates. Go-to-market combines a regionally-segmented Polish direct sales force with an authorized distributor network covering Germany (Bikapack, ANPAK), Italy (SFA Packaging, Lamaplast), the Netherlands, the UK (Metaplast), France (Fidel Fillaud), Belgium, Scandinavia, and Eastern Europe, alongside a 24/7 eCommerce platform. The company reaches customers in over 30 European markets and is differentiated by ISO 9001:2015, BRCGS, Sedex, and J.S. Hamilton 'Recyclable' certifications.

Others

• Berlin Packaging: Global hybrid packaging supplier (rigid + services); already an existing distributor partner of Plast-Box in the Netherlands and Italy. Adjacent ecosystem participant rather than direct competitor—provides channel context for Plast-Box's European distribution footprint.
• Fidel Fillaud: French packaging distributor for rigid plastic containers (jerry cans, pails, bottles) serving the chemical industry. Already a Plast-Box distribution partner in France; provides comparable channel/distribution context rather than direct manufacturing competition.

• Mauser Packaging Solutions: Global industrial packaging company producing rigid plastic drums, IBCs, and pails for chemical and food customers. Significantly larger scale and broader portfolio than Plast-Box, but direct overlap in chemical-grade plastic pails.
• Greif, Inc. Global industrial packaging producer with rigid plastic container (drum, IBC, pail) product lines serving chemical and food customers. Comparable in chemical packaging verticals but operates at much larger scale and broader product scope.

Direct peers
