Teich Flexibles (UK) finance and administrative director John Moore attributed the problems to the strength of sterling, increased competition from European packaging companies and the Environmental Protection Act.
"The workforce here is fantastic and very skilled but we just cant compete," said Moore. "We will make sure that we do the right thing for our customers, but also for our staff members."
