James Jones & Sons has announced the acquisitions of Pallet & Bin Pty in Australia, and United Box in the UK, to provide an expanded product portfolio for farming and food processing end users.
United Box manufactures and distributes agricultural boxes and was originally formed as a joint venture in 2003 by James Jones & Sons and Scott Group.
In parallel, James Jones & Sons’ Australian subsidiary, Hyne Group, has announced the expansion of its Hyne Pallets division through the acquisition of Pallet & Bin Pty, based in Shepparton Victoria. Pallet & Bin manufactures a range of products for some of Australia’s largest food producers, including a significant amount for the export markets.
Tom Bruce-Jones, Chairman of James Jones & Sons Group, said: “Our recent acquisitions, combined with a progressive investment philosophy, are part of our disciplined global strategy. These two additions to our Group demonstrate our strong support of the rural and farming communities in the UK and Australia. This broadens our product portfolio and provides confidence to all our end users of our vertically integrated local supply chains, particularly given the current global trade war.”
