Bunzl Distribution is a leader in the food processing and food packaging industries offering value-added products, programs and services that help our customers achieve their business goals. Our coast-to-coast distribution network is uniquely positioned to be a single-source provider of personal protection equipment, employee apparel, material handling, janitorial/sanitation, cutlery, scales, thermometers, safety products, MRO parts and a wide assortment of food packaging products.

In the mid-1990s, we initiated our strategic focus on food packaging products used in food processing and manufacturing plants. We leveraged our knowledge of products in the supermarket industry and progressed upstream in the food industry’s value chain, as many food products transitioned to case-ready applications supplied to the grocers by food companies.

Our position in the food processor and packer industry was greatly enhanced with the acquisitions of Koch Supplies (2000), Packers Engineering & Equipment (2001) and Enterprise (2003). These acquisitions allowed us to combine and expand our product offerings and become a leader in the plant supplies and MRO market.

In 2010, we extended into the field by becoming the exclusive distributor of the TRUETRAC produce case labeling system, a simple-to-use food safety solution that provides visibility and traceability throughout the supply chain. Later in the year, we acquired Cool Pak LLC, a distributor of stock and custom-designed pulp and plastic containers. Located in California, Cool Pak brings a wealth of experience in serving the agriculture and retail industries. These additions have greatly expanded the products and solutions we can offer fruit and vegetable growers, shippers, repackers and other food suppliers.

As the industry continues to experience consolidation and competitive pressures, we have brought a wealth of management, warehousing and market distribution expertise to the food processor industry. No one can match our breadth of product line, national service capability and consistency.

Extending further into the agriculture industry, we acquired Network Paper and Packaging Ltd. (Netpak) and Marpak Packaging Systems (Marpak). Based in the Vancouver, British Columbia area, these related companies specialize in packaging solutions for berry and agricultural growers in Canada and the United States.
