Commentary
Commenting on the inclusion in the list Darren Fenton, COO of the Bevcraft Group, said:
“Bevcraft Group are delighted to be included in the FT1000 list for a third year running along with so many great businesses across Europe and we are particularly excited to feature as one of just three Irish companies in the list.
Our hard-working teams across Ireland, the UK, Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands and the USA serve hundreds of brilliant craft beverage producers with a comprehensive range of canning, digital print, laboratory and distribution services.
The economic climate over the past year has of course been much more unsettled for everyone including craft brewers, beverage producers, hospitality and wider industry. We are very fortunate to work closely with three excellent manufacturing partners Ball, Crown and Canpack in executing our shared growth strategy of driving the shift towards infinitely recyclable aluminium packaging across all beverage categories.
Our execution has seen us reinvest continually in our canning, print, logistics and laboratory operations which has been supported by our funding partners HSBC, AIB and PTSB as well as key state agencies including Enterprise Ireland.
Within each market we are in turn privileged to work with many local suppliers who have helped us along this journey. We look forward to the next chapter as we have more exciting plans in the pipeline across our operations in both Europe and North America”
