Independent packaging manufacturer Krystals has entered into administration and ceased trading, resulting in the loss of approximately 80 jobs.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Printweek<\/em><\/a> reported that the company, based in Lincoln and Ellesmere Port in the UK, was acquired by its most recent owners in 2008.<\/p>\n

Krystals operated a blow moulding plant for pharmaceutical containers, which it described as one of the most environmentally friendly in Europe, producing millions of units weekly.<\/p>\n

The company also served the corrugated packaging sector, offering products ranging from multicolour digitally printed shelf-ready corrugated boxes to heavy-duty double-wall stitched transit cases.<\/p>\n

Gareth Harris and Chris Ratten of RSM UK Restructuring Advisory were appointed joint administrators of A, R & S Shingdia, trading as Krystals.<\/p>\n

The company operated under an unlimited partnership structure with trading names Krystals, Krystals Premier, and Krystals Packaging.<\/p>\n

RSM UK, in a statement, said: \u201cFollowing their appointment the joint administrators completed a sale of plant and machinery relating to the bottling plant located at the Lincoln site.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe remaining plant and machinery at the Lincoln site remains available and the administrators are seeking to sell this via auction.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe administrators continue to explore options for the Ellesmere Port site with parties interested in purchasing the remaining business and assets welcomed to make enquiries.\u201d<\/p>\n

The administrators confirmed that all roughly 80 employees were made redundant, and operations ceased on 23 May 2025, with no outstanding contracts in place.<\/p>\n
