Shalam Packaging Limited is a leading plastic packaging manufacturer based in Basildon Essex. We are part of the Shalam Packaging Group with manufacturing sites in Israel, South Africa, Greece and the UK.
Shalam Packaging Group was established in 1976 and is privately owned. We work with International Blue Chip brands as well as small local manufacturers, offering all of our clients the same high product quality and customer service.
In 2009 the Basildon plant was established to allow Shalam Packaging to service its growing UK and European markets. In this new modern factory we introduced the latest injection moulding machines, state of the art IML systems, and developed new moulds to further expand the product range. Continuing our growth in the UK, Shalam Packaging obtained a new site in the North East specialising in thermoforming and blow moulding.
Now with two UK production sites we have over 55 production lines and warehousing for over 35,000 pallets.
