our 'cost out philosophy'
Since trm came on the scene at the turn of the millennium, packaging supply took on a whole new meaning. Old ideas went out of the window.
We manufacture the complete range of conventional corrugated products, boxes, fitments, flat and pre-glued trays and double wall combinations. We have a strong presence in the poultry, snacks, fresh produce, food processing and drinks & beverages sectors and a growing reputation in healthcare and glass packaging, especially in support of international brands.
quality from start to finish
As a company trm is expert in purchasing raw materials of quality at competitive prices. Converting it into ‘corrugated’ may not seem to be the most charismatic of concepts in the world, but doing it right demands dedication. Quality from the beginning is a must. Everything else – imaginative design and first-class manufacture – flows from it. But we need to be sure and we need to be consistent. With the help of our purpose-built, controlled environment laboratory, we can support our supply chain consultants in perfecting optimum pack designs and assure customers of consistently reliable performance.

Not only has demand for TRM’s innovative products seen it nearly double its number of employees over the last decade, its expertise in retail ready packaging, supply chain consultancy and design has boosted its turnover from £13m in 2001 to £34m today. TRM has pumped £12m into its Burscough site over the last 10 years, with the final part of its three-phase investment plan now underway. A further £4m will be injected by early 2012 with the installation of a new £1.5m BHS AF-P single Facer in November and its third Martin 618 Casemaker in February. At a cost of £2.5m this investment also makes TRM the only plant in Europe with three such machines. With board quality significantly improved, the use of the very latest paper technology and, crucially, an increase of 20% in capacity from the end of 2011, the demands of TRM’s burgeoning list of customers are well and truly met.
