What Frapak does

Frapak Packaging B.V. is a Netherlands-headquartered hybrid plastic packaging manufacturer and distributor serving European B2B customers across cosmetics and personal care, food and beverage, hair care, pharmaceutical/healthcare, cleaning and household, and automotive and garden care verticals. The company manufactures and distributes a broad portfolio of PET and HDPE bottles, PET and PP jars, closure systems (flip-top, disc-top, screw), cosmetic and trigger pumps, finger sprayers, foamers, and airless dispensers (Pearl 48mm and Mini 36mm series), available in standard and custom configurations with over 1,000 color options, mono-material designs, and 100% recycled (rPET, rPP, recycled HDPE) variants. Its core technology stack comprises in-house R&D and quality testing (1,000+ leak-free trials per product), advanced decoration capabilities installed in 2019 (up to 6-color silk-screen printing and hot-stamping with Decomat camera inspection), ISO 15593 food-grade certification, and an online component-matching tool that lets buyers pair bottles, jars, pumps and closures.

The business model is quote-based B2B sales calculated on a DDP/DAP basis, with no public price list. Pricing is structured around per-unit fees with MOQs ranging from roughly 1,000 units for stock items to 25,000+ units for custom or rPET lines, and stock items in both virgin and recycled materials are held for rapid delivery. Frapak operates three EU production plants of over 10,000 m² each, five distribution locations, and direct sales offices in ten European countries (Netherlands, UK, Sweden, Belgium, France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Poland, Slovenia), with additional coverage into Norway. GTM is sales-led and hybrid: direct enterprise sales via local offices, trade show participation, a product-catalog website with quote-request workflow, and email-based sample/pricing requests. The company is privately held, family-owned since 1978, with no disclosed venture or institutional funding and a wholly-owned subsidiary (FlexPET B.V.) operating in PET packaging materials.
