OUR STORY
OUR STORY
Since 2007 we’ve been at the forefront of creating bespoke packaging solutions. Working with the world’s foremost brands across the globe, we specialize in design, engineering, manufacturing, and distribution – offering you the complete package.
From day one, we’ve been market disruptors. In many ways, it’s been the golden thread running through our business, the reason we are where we are. But beyond that we’re also innovators, boundary pushers and packaging experts who champion sustainability at all costs.
Over 15 years ago we made a commitment to reduce the volume of toxic plastics in the waste stream through our packaging.
From that moment an opportunity to expand was identified. By taking the power out of the hands of the traditional contract manufacturers in the East, GPA Global was able to offer companies a unique experience.
One with more control, more choice and less margins. We saw an entire market shift off the back of our business model.
Today that same disruption is possible. With regional supply bases becoming a common feature across the Western world, the knowledge we accumulated in the East has put us in prime position to once again set a precedent to the rest of the industry. Whilst remaining a company who offers our clients a plethora of material options, expert design, logistical support, sustainable solutions and flexibility.
As we continue to grow, so does our expansive global reach. We currently own several GPA manufacturing super sites in North America, Europe, and Asia, alongside a significant supply base boasting all material substrates, under the guidance of our in-house inspection and production teams.
