Buyout at DS Smith Sacks

11 July 2011


DS Smith Sacks, a division of DS Smith, in Horncastle, UK, has been acquired by its Managing and Finance Directors and relaunched as Forum Packaging.

The company makes paper sacks and bags for a range of sectors including food, animal feed, chemicals and cement. It also provides preprint services to the corrugated industry. Formerly part of the Linpac Group, the factory was acquired by DS Smith in 2004.

Managing Director Mark Spivey states: “It’s business as usual as far as our employees are concerned but we’ll be looking at other acquisitions too, and aiming to grow into other market sectors where we can. We have a long-term vision for the business.”
