No other corrugated manufacturer in the UK can look back on such a long, family-run industrial history as John Hargreaves. We can look back on 150 years of company history and have been part of Palm Packaging since November 2024
History
The history of John Hargreaves goes back to before the Industrial Revolution, when the family ran a paper mill for sugar sacks. Using water power to produce paper from recycled straw, old ropes and waste paper, they laid the foundations for the future.
Today, the Hargreaves family still produce their corrugated cardboard products in the mill they built in 1874. The products are modern, but the company's values - service, quality and reliability - are based on a long tradition.
