A Brief History

Adpack Europe Limited started trading in October 1990, when Ivan and Elaine Tutin saw a gap in the marketplace for a company able to offer local manufacturers an efficient and inexpensive contract packing and delivery service.

Ivan was able to bring his many years expertise as production director of a large Milton Keynes-based packaging company, and together with Elaine's experience in commercial and administrative procedures, they were well equipped from the beginning to launch what has since become an extremely successful business.

Adpack began operating from a cramped 200 sq. ft. unit with just two members of staff. Today the company employs around 45 people on a 20,000 sq.ft. site, and its products are delivered all over the UK.

Staff are actively encouraged to contribute fully to the future development of the company and views and ideas are welcomed by the management who have always adopted an 'open door' policy.

The company operated a highly effective Quality Management System which was registered by the British Standards Institute to the international standard BS EN ISO 9002, in January 1998.

In just fifteen years Adpack has enjoyed considerable growth, with quality standards being constantly reviewed.

A Wholesale Dealers Licence was granted by the Medicines Control Agency (MCA) in May 1999 which allows Adpack to store and distribute pharmaceutical products.

In May 2000 an Assembly Licence from the MCA was granted, allowing Adpack to offer a full service of packing licensed pharmaceutical products.

A major milestone was achieved in 2003, and 6 months ahead of planned schedule, when Adpack's Quality Management System was awarded BS EN ISO 9001:2000 status by the BSI.

All our customers' products are produced in accordance with the principles of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP). We welcome audits from external sources and have been approved to pack for major multiples.
