Kureha Corporation, a Japanese specialty chemicals and plastics manufacturer, has announced the full closure of the Krehalon B.V. business including its UK branch.
Krehalon B.V. UK is a global manufacturer of flexible shrink barrier packaging for the fresh food industry. The company, based in Kingston upon Hull, will be close its doors on Wednesday 31st July 2024 after 50 years in business.
As part of the announcement, the manufacturer thanked its suppliers and customers for their loyalty over the last half century.
The decision to close comes despite interest from several external parties to buy the UK branch of the business.
According to the manufacturer, whilst this announcement is very disappointing for all of the team at Krehalon B.V. UK, the current focus is to clear stocks and to fulfil the remaining customer orders prior to the factory closure.
All of the equipment, land and buildings will be sold, and any interested parties are advised to contact Krehalon B.V. UK branch manager Chris Burdall.
