Worldpack x Bunzl
Family ethos backed by global scale.
In 2008, Worldpack became part of Bunzl plc. That moment marked the next phase of our journey. It allowed us to scale what we already did well, invest in our organisation, and support retailers across borders. Today, Worldpack operates internationally, serving customers throughout EMEA and beyond, with the strength of a global parent company behind us and the same hands-on mindset at our core.
A reliable backbone for what we do.
Bunzl plc is a FTSE 100 listed company and a global leader in the outsourcing and distribution of Goods Not for Resale. The group operates in more than 30 countries, with hundreds of distribution locations and tens of thousands of employees worldwide. That scale brings financial stability, deep market knowledge, and long-term reliability. It creates a strong foundation for companies like Worldpack to grow with confidence.
Enhancing what we already do well.
Being part of Bunzl strengthens how we support our customers. It gives us access to a broad international supplier network, purchasing leverage, and sourcing expertise, including dedicated purchasing offices close to production markets. For retailers, this means reliable availability, competitive pricing, and continuity across regions. The partnership enhances our capabilities, without changing the way we work with customers day to day.
“Joining Bunzl didn’t change Worldpack. It gave us the space to become more of who we already were. Stronger, more ambitious, and better equipped to support our customers, without losing the hands-on way of working that defines us.”Teun Bakx

Built for continuity and growth.
Being part of a strong international group means we can look ahead. It allows us to invest in people, systems, data, and logistics, and to support customers through growth, change, and expansion. Whether you operate a few stores or hundreds across multiple markets, the partnership provides reassurance that your supply chain is supported by a stable and resilient organisation.
A shared focus on doing better.
Responsibility is a shared focus within Worldpack and Bunzl. Together, we work on improving sourcing practices, material choices, and supply-chain transparency. The scale of the group allows us to make meaningful progress, while our local teams ensure that responsible choices also work in practice for retail operations.
As part of this responsibility, Bunzl carries out strict supplier safety audits across its supply base. These audits check whether suppliers meet clear standards on ethics, labour conditions, and health and safety. That includes fair wages and working hours, safe and hygienic workplaces, and a zero-tolerance approach to child or forced labour. Audits are performed regularly, with extra focus on higher-risk regions, and are followed up with concrete improvement plans. This approach helps protect people in the supply chain and gives customers confidence that products are sourced responsibly and with care.
A partnership designed to last
The Worldpack × Bunzl partnership exists to support retailers over the long term. It combines international scale with operational focus, financial strength with practical execution. For our customers, that means fewer uncertainties, stronger continuity, and a partner that’s ready for what comes next.
