DUO PLASTICS LIMITED
Company number 02260922 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Duo Plastics is a long-established, family-controlled UK flexible plastics packaging converter with a niche mid-market position, differentiated by integrated manufacturing and procurement consultancy. Its 19% gross margin, £1.24m PBT, £7.9m net assets and £4.2m net current assets compare reasonably well with SME sector norms, although cash is thin and scale is sub-critical versus multinational consolidators. The key sector swing factors are polymer and energy inflation, plastic-packaging regulation and the sustainability transition; the Duclo liquidation removes a group drag but highlights circularity investment risk.
