About

Fibrestar Drums manufactures fibre drums and rigid plastic containers for industrial packaging, operating from Hazel Grove in Stockport since 2013.

The company produces a range of drum types including Leverpak, All Fibre, Square Round, Unipak and Fibrepak models, designed for packaging powders, solids, semi-liquids and hazardous materials. Drums can be customised with corporate colours, logos and product information to meet specific customer requirements.

The business provides technical support and environmental packaging guidance to customers globally, with membership of SEFFI for international standards compliance. Fibrestar Drums emphasises the sustainability of its products: drums are manufactured from renewable paper and board sourced from sustainable forests, are 100% recyclable and biodegradable, and require minimal energy to produce compared to steel or plastic alternatives. The company also supplies carbon emissions data to help customers assess the environmental impact of their packaging choices.

Fibrestar Drums traces its origins to 1932 as the 3 Ply Barrel Company in Trafford Park, evolving through ownership by Bowaters and Rexam before becoming independent in 2000. A management buyout in 2007 brought the current leadership structure. The company now employs around 60 staff at its purpose-built Hazel Grove facility.
