TRM secures exclusive Whyte & Mackay contract

TRM has secured an exclusive contract with Whyte and Mackay. The deal will see the designer and manufacturer of retail ready packaging providing all of Whyte and Mackay’s boxes for its range of spirits, which include Vladivar vodka, Jura and Dalmore single malt whiskies and the Claymore blended whisky.

The contract is an expansion of the current arrangement between the two companies and will begin in March 2014 and run for 12 months

Trevor Maund, chief executive at TRM Packaging said: “Our relationship with Whyte and Mackay is going from strength to strength.

“The expansion of this contract is a testament to TRM’s dedication to enhancing its services through investment in industry leading machinery and our employees, ensuring that our manufacturing capabilities and services are at the head of the field.

“Every brand wants the best and most appropriate packaging for their product, and at TRM we ensure we have the capabilities to meet these demands”

The deal with Whyte and Mackay comes on the back of TRM’s £3.2 million investment in the industry leading Gopfert Impression printer, which allows for seven-colour printing directly onto corrugate at 0.2mm accuracy. Much of the secondary packaging manufactured for Whyte and Mackay will be printed using the Gopfert machine.

David Findlay, a purchasing specialist at Whyte and Mackay said: “TRM’s high quality post print services are a real draw for us, and their ability to manufacture high quality, cost efficient packaging has been a great benefit to the business.”

“We look forward to the next stage of our relationship with TRM.”
