Chevler has first year’s success all wrapped up

14 September 2010 – Chevler, the South Wales-based manufacturer of baking cases and muffin wraps, has secured a number of contracts with distributors and commercial bakeries in continental Europe and North America.

The company, which was created following a management buy-out in February 2009, has expanded its Cases product range by investing over £300,000 in new equipment. This expansion has also seen Chevler collaborate with a number of leading food manufacturers and commercial bakeries across the UK and Europe.

Stuart Whelan, managing director, says, “Over the past 18 months we have bought more than seven pieces of new equipment to meet increased demand for our high-quality plain and printed paper food packaging products. Strong demand has also resulted in the company increasing its workforce by more than 30 per cent with the creation of 16 new jobs.”

Chevler currently manufactures over one billion baking cases a year in some 600 shapes and sizes at its two facilities in Hengoed. Its baking cases, muffin wraps and other food packaging products are manufactured to strict food hygiene industry certified standards using Scandinavian natural greaseproof paper.
