Who We Are

ABSORBENCY, board and flexible packaging. Manufacturing. NPD. Packaging development. Fulfilment. Sirane can be a difficult company to sum up at times.

We mainly operate in three specialist areas: absorbency; bags, pouches & films (flexible packaging), and board products – selling into four main sectors: food packaging; medical & healthcare; lab supplies & services, and horticultural.

ABSORBENCY – absorbent pads are one of our core products. Whether it’s compostable or recyclable, ovenable or odour-absorbing, we have a huge range of capabilities. When it comes to absorbency, we’re the European market leaders, possibly even the world.

FLEXIBLE PACKAGING – flow-wrap films and pouches of all types including stand-up pouches (we’re the UK’s largest stand-up pouch manufacturer). We have an in-house printing press (a Flexo water-based press). Whether it is recyclable plastics or plastic-free, quad-seal or retort, we have got you covered. We are at the forefront of plastic-free flexibles, with our range including paper-based barrier films.

BOARD – board-based packaging including cake/salmon boards, U-cards and J-cards, susceptor, SRPs, FSDUs and more. We’re pioneers in our use of coated boards as a plastic replacement. Our range includes plastic-free sustainable tree-shelters.

We also offer a co-packing & fulfilment service (Sira-Pack) as well as medical kit-building and fulfilment services (we are also experts in compliant UN3373 packaging).

Sirane’s headquarters are in Telford, Shropshire, UK – conveniently located close to the M54 if you’re paying us a visit! The company was founded by in 2003 with the simple objective of providing a new pace of innovation and level of service to the packaging industry. Co-founder Simon Balderson is still managing director to this day.

Sirane now has manufacturing facilities in the UK at three sites – all in Telford, Shropshire (known as Emerald, Amethyst and Pioneer) – and overseas in the Czech Republic (Hranice), United States (Grand Prairie, Texas) and Mexico (Guadalajara) as well as offices/representation in the UK, Australia, Czech Republic, Mexico, US & South Africa.

We also have a wide network of agents and distributors who are here to help.

NPD is also an important feature of Sirane – whereas most companies are manufacturing operations supplying a range of products, Sirane can also look at your requirement and design and develops a solution that does the job, based on your requirements. No more or no less!

Sirane’s core skills are founded around material science and design & process engineering which gives us the capability to develop new and better products and if required, new manufacturing machinery to produce these products too! All at a pace unheard of before. Absorbency and absorbent pads, oven/microwave-ready packaging materials, bags & pouches (flexibles), sustainable packaging, plastic replacement, boards and shelf-life extending packaging are just some of the areas in which we excel.
