We are pleased to announce the acquisition of Faleen Sales Ltd, a well-established packaging supplier based in Clonmel, County Tipperary. Completed in April, this marks another important milestone in our growth journey and strengthens our presence in the Munster region, expanding our expertise within the meat processing sector, and supporting our wider growth strategy.
We are proud to carry on the legacy of outstanding customer support and deep knowledge established by the Faleen team under the leadership of the late Paul Ronan. The Hub Packaging team have worked closely with Paul and the wider Faleen team for more than 15 years and conversations around an acquisition were already underway to facilitate Paul’s retirement before his untimely passing early this year. He will be remembered fondly by our team for many years to come as we work to continue his legacy.
A shared history with strong foundations
Commenting on this new chapter, Paul Ronan Jr, Director and Company Secretary at Faleen Sales Ltd, said:
“I am delighted that we have concluded the sale to Hub Packaging. We have been impressed by the Hub Packaging team in every respect, particularly their sensitivity during this difficult period for my family. Hub Packaging have grown considerably over recent years, focusing on delivering certainty, quality and a great experience for customers. This made them the obvious choice. I know my dad would have loved to be here to lead the final stages of the handover between the two family businesses.”
Our Commercial Director, Russell Brennan, added:
“Paul was highly regarded by our team and many across the industry. He will be remembered for his integrity, honesty and generosity. Our relationship with the Faleen team was built over many years and rooted in shared values, mutual respect and a commitment to supporting customers. We are pleased to honour those plans by ensuring continuity for customers and carrying forward the strong relationships Paul and the team built over many years.”
Supporting our growth ambitions
The acquisition of Faleen Sales Ltd comes at an exciting stage in our growth journey. As demand continues to grow across Ireland and the UK, we remain focused on investing in our people, infrastructure, and customer offering to ensure we continue delivering the service and support our customers rely on.
Commenting on how this strategic move will support future growth, David Quigley, Chief Revenue Officer, said: “The acquisition of Faleen Sales Ltd marks an important step in our all-Ireland growth journey and strengthens our ability to support customers with a wider reach, deeper expertise and continued investment in service. Supported by a team based across Cork, Dublin and County Down, our customer base continues to grow and diversify. Above all, we remain deeply grounded in the values built over decades as a family business, with our core value of behaving with integrity and respect.”
Alongside the acquisition of Faleen Sales Ltd, we recently confirmed that Aberdeen-based Packed Up will join the Hub Packaging Group, further strengthening our presence across the UK and Ireland.
