Distrupol is proudly celebrating its 60th year in business!

It’s been quite a journey, and alongside acquisitions, expansions, and rebrands, the core values of Distrupol have always been the same. That’s why we’re still here today.

Distrupol History

We started out as Ronmar Plastics Ltd in 1963, which was founded by Ron and Margaret Beere. Ronmar was later acquired by KD Thermoplastics in 1994, and became part of the larger Ellis & Everard group, which went on to become what is known today as Univar Solutions. KD Thermoplastics expanded into the Nordic and Benelux regions in 1997, and was rebranded as Distrupol. In 2001, we expanded into Ireland, and have continued to grow and expand in all regions ever since. Today, as a part of the GPD Companies Inc. group, we’re an industry leader with some incredibly exciting developments and growth plans in the pipeline in the near future.

“Distrupol is so proud to have made it to its 60th anniversary in business. We proudly look back at the heritage businesses that form Distrupol today, starting on March 22, 1963, with the formation of Ronmar Plastics in Wolverhampton. Over 60 years, many supplier and customer partnerships have developed to support us to the industry-leading Distrupol that we are today, we would like to thank all of these partners for their support!” Richard Orme, Managing Director.

… The Distrupol Family

Distrupol has been so much more than a workplace for many of our people. It’s a place where lifelong friendships have been made, where families have started, where loved ones have been lost, and where people have truly grown and flourished.

Our people are our main asset – they are the reason why we have been successful for 60 years and why our customers and suppliers are proud to work with us.

Here are a few words from the people behind the Distrupol brand...

Thank you to all of our colleagues, customers and suppliers - old and new - who have made Distrupol who we are today. Here's to the next 60 years!
