Payne and Contego Healthcare rebrand as Essentra Packaging

Packaging manufacturers Payne and Contego Healthcare have rebranded as Essentra Packaging, following the name change of their parent company Filtrona in June. The rebrand is said to bring together the expertise of the two companies; Essentra Packaging aims to deliver a global range of packaging solutions covering the four key functions of effective packaging: opening, closing, informing and protecting. Alison Evans, Divisional Managing Director, said: “Our customers know and trust us from our existing long and fruitful relationships, and they can look forward to those excellent standards continuing. For them, and for future customers, becoming Essentra creates a more unified culture, giving our customers greater access to the group’s collective skills and capabilities. Meanwhile for our employees, the rebranding brings them into a cohesive and engaging culture, with a forward looking, dynamic corporate identity.” She added: “Our work to date has established our credentials in the creation of innovative packaging solutions from tapes to labels, cartons to foils and as Essentra Packaging we are now well placed to consolidate and further grow our market leading position through focusing on the value we can deliver to customers and consumers.”
