Scaling New Heights in Production

At Cullen, we consistently expand our production capabilities year after year, ensuring we not only meet but exceed the growing industry demands for sustainable packaging. Our corrugate facility expertly processes millions of square metres of FSC-accredited corrugated board, transforming it into shelf-ready packaging, eCommerce solutions and transit packaging. This diverse portfolio showcases our ability to cater to a wide range of product needs.

Simultaneously, our moulded fibre facility, equipped with bespoke machines that incorporate patented technology, produced products for the medical sector, packaging for the produce, retail, industrial, catering to go, and many more.

Sustainable Practices That Lead the Way

Our commitment to sustainability is exemplified by our genuine closed-loop system, utilising our corrugated waste as a vital feedstock for our moulded fibre production. This innovative approach reduces our need for external raw materials, giving new life to waste, enhancing our Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) credentials. This strategy not only positions us distinctively in the market but also champions a responsible alternative to single-use plastics.
