Encirc

Encirc, part of the Vidrala Group, is a market leader in glass container design, manufacturing, bottling and logistics solutions for the UK and Irish food and beverage industries. With almost 1,200 employees, it operates from its purpose-built sites in Derrylin, Co Fermanagh, Northern Ireland and Elton, Cheshire. The company produces more than 2.5 billion glass bottles and other containers annually, and can fill up to 250 million litres of bulk shipped beverages every year. The integrated group offering means customers benefit from a ‘one-stop-shop' approach, which includes access to Europe's largest bonded warehouse, significantly shortening the supply chain and delivering considerable cost and environmental savings to customers. The company is also home to the Encirc Academy, a specialist training and consultancy offering bespoke technical and service assistance packages for the global container glass making industry.
