About Us
For more information on the carrier bags that we can manufacture for you, please see our printed carrier bags section.
We were established in 1961 by Mr Geoffrey Davies who purchased a bag making machine advertised in the local paper and sold door to door. As sales grew, Geoffrey Davies teamed up with college friend Brian Turner who became in charge of production and the business moved firstly to a lock-up garage and then on to larger factory premises in Alperton, West London.
After some consolidation, we now have a new management team headed by Jon Lomax and are looking to continue Polybags' development and success. Business is expanding again. Improvements are being made and after taking on the business of Chapel Polythene in 2005 we are now very tight for space and have committed to extending into next door at the end of this year.
We also produce a variety of other products including:
- Plain polythene bags
