Benders Paper Cups has been an expert food service manufacturer based in North Wales for over 100 years; it was acquired by the Flo Group in 2012. Today it is the absolute leader in the UK and one of the biggest players in Europe.<\/h5><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Tradition and innovation in one company<\/h2><\/div>
<\/div>

From being a manufacturer of paper placemats and cake containers, Benders has evolved over the years to focus on the production of napkins and paper cups, the latter dedicated to the world of Ho.Re.Ca. and vending.
\nProduct quality and service excellence are the company’s hallmarks.
\nIt currently has a capacity of more than 1.5 billion cups per year, in the full range of single- and double-walled cups.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div>

Care for the environment<\/h2><\/div>
<\/div>

From an environment friendly point of view, the Welsh site focuses on and cares for every single action that can improve the impact on the environment; for example, it was the first company in Europe to switch 100% of the inks used for printing cups from organic solvent inks to water-based inks.
\nAt Benders we address all current environmental issues to provide customers with the information they need. The issues of plastic dispersion and recycling, as well as circular economy in general, are high on the list of topics addressed to, but Benders proactively cooperates with the relevant leading UK associations. Benders is one of the founding members of the ‘Paper cup Recovery and Recycling Group’ and the ‘Paper cup alliance’, and is a member and supporter of the ‘Food service Packaging Association’.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
