About Forum Packaging

Heritage & Vision

Paper sacks have been manufactured on the Horncastle site since 1964. The original company was incorporated by the Cornish family who had the foresight to respond to the demands of the local Lincolnshire rural economy, setting up an agricultural packaging business primarily for potatoes and carrots.

After a number of years as part of Linpac, a privately owned family business, the company was acquired in 2004 by DS Smith plc, an FTSE 250 company; and became DS Smith Sacks. The business continued on an upward trend when in 2011 it was subject to a management buyout by  Mark Spivey and Rob Massey, who re-launched the business under the new name of Forum Packaging Limited.  In June 2017, following a successful secondary management buyout, the business is now solely owned by Rob Massey, Director.

Forum Packaging prints and converts more than 60 million paper sacks and bags every year.  That’s enough paper sacks end to end to go around the world!

Since the original buyout, more than £1.5 million has been invested in the company including improved building infrastructure, a new production line, a new fleet of liveried trailers and most recently a solar farm at its site which will generate income and savings of more than £40,000 each year. This enables Forum’s manufacturing processes to be more efficient, greener and cost effective.

Today, Forum Packaging is able to supply a wide range of products from all types of paper sacks to preprinted material to more than 20 different sectors across the UK, Europe and Middle East.
