Robinson, the plastic and paperboard packaging firm, was heavily hit by a fall in sales to ￡25.5m in 2007. It was estimated that the fall accounted for 12％, and the recession led to the failure to cooperate with Goldenfry, a major gravy granule can contract.
From the company’s UK plastic packaging operations, the company planned to utilize ￡1.3m from extra costs of redundancies and the restructing.
