Colton Packaging Updates Fleet To Support Future Growth

Loughborough’s Colton Packaging has made a significant investment in its transport capabilities, adding two new lorries to its fleet.


The packaging company has recently added one 7.5-tonne and one 18-tonne vehicle to their fleet, as part of a strategic move to support the company’s ongoing growth.


The new lorries mark a major step forward in the company’s logistics operations and will allow for more efficient, higher-volume deliveries. The investment reflects a commitment to strengthening infrastructure and positioning the business for continued expansion.


Laura Colton-Smith, Managing Director at Colton Packaging said:


“This is an exciting period of growth for the business. Modernising our fleet opens up new opportunities - both operationally and commercially - and allows us to better serve our customers while preparing for future demand. These investments are not just about vehicles; they’re about the future of our company and the confidence we have in where we’re heading.”


With the addition of these two new lorries, 50% of the fleet has now been modernised over the past two years, demonstrating the company's understanding of modern-day supply chains and the need for efficiency and reliability across its customer base.


This latest development further cements this Loughborough-based company in its position as a reliable and growing partner within its sector, ready to meet the challenges and opportunities of the future.
