Croxsons Expand into Europe and Beyond

Croxsons, the UK's leading independent glass packaging provider, has expanded its operations into Italy and New Zealand, complementing their presence in the UK and Australian markets.

The New Zealand office will continue to build on the excellent work that has been achieved for over 15 years, through providing a more frequent customer service, as well as providing essential internal market knowledge. Tim Croxson, Operations Director, comments that “if we make a strategic move such as this, clients can be rest assured that we will bring the very best of what we do in the UK and Australia to the New Zealand market. We know that we can deliver standard and bespoke solutions to all clients as we are already fulfilling contracts with clients such as Diageo and Bacardi.”

The Italian office came about due to consolidation in the Italian market. This move strangled the market and left clients with little choice where to go. Croxsons have taken the step to appoint Gianni Tarani, with over 15 years experience of hands-on business in Italy, and with 15 years experience of working with Croxsons in a manufacturer – client relationship, it was a logical partnership for both parties. Oliver Hartley, Group Sales Director, states that “having Gianni on board not only ensures that we continue to invest in glass industries in Europe through strengthening and supporting existing relationships with suppliers, but also enables Croxsons to target clients with glass from UK and further afield.”

Both of these new offices have received great support and encouragement from Croxsons’ existing supplier partners ensuring that the model has worked so well in the UK for over 130 years, will work just as effectively in these new markets.
