Innovation, new partnerships, and leading the way for the food wrapping industry: Wrapping up our 2024
Innovation, new partnerships, and leading the way for the food wrapping industry: Wrapping up our 2024
That’s a wrap! 2024 is almost over, and what a year it’s been.
While there were some challenges along the way, we’re incredibly proud of the way our team tackled them, showing creativity, passion, and a commitment to customer service all year long. And we’re proud of our customers, who collaborated with us on many projects and demonstrated their commitment to doing the right thing.
We think that’s worth celebrating. So, take a moment to join us as we wrap up an amazing 12 months!
New innovations launched
2024 saw us introduce several new products to the market – including the groundbreaking Speedwrap Pro, our new flagship dispenser. We put it through its paces by launching it at the prestigious International Salon Culinaire competition, where it was used by some of the best and brightest chefs in the world.
The dispenser – available in two models, the 300 and 450 – features a patented sheathed safety blade to prevent accidental cuts, and it utilises BioCote antimicrobial technology to inhibit the spread of harmful microbes on its surface. Both features help enhance kitchen safety and hygiene, improving efficiency throughout the kitchen. It also helps to reduce plastic waste, as its refill rolls fit into the dispenser without using plastic inserts.
That wasn’t all we launched in 2024, though – due to popular demand, we released a new XXL size of our best-selling pre-cut foil sheets! Ideal for fast-paced catering trucks and quick-service restaurants, these pre-cut sheets make it easy to serve larger items like gourmet burgers and burritos.
New partnerships built
We love our industry and we’re proud of our place within it. We’ve always been committed to building partnerships and collaborating wherever we can, and we made some great connections in 2024.
We teamed up with BioCote to give the Speedwrap Pro anti-microbial properties that make it easy to keep clean and maintain without the need for caustic cleaning chemicals, which we mentioned above. But we don’t just build partnerships when developing products – we want to have an outsized impact on the industry. That’s why we teamed up with organisations like the Craft Guild Culinary Team, The Burnt Chef Project, and more.
The Prowrap team grows
As our business grows, so does our team. We were delighted to welcome several talented individuals to the Prowrap family this year, including Scott, our Scottish Regional Account Manager, and Mil, our National Account manager, who you may have already met. We also saw Naomi, Brand Marketing Coordinator, join the team from our sister company Procare, adding her expertise and creativity to our incredible group!
Leading the industry with our dispenser recycling scheme
Sustainability has always played a key role in every aspect of our business, and 2024 saw us play a leading role in shaping the industry for the better. That’s because of our groundbreaking dispenser recycling scheme, which has laid down a market for the rest of the industry to follow.
The new scheme keeps old, broken, or unwanted dispensers out of landfill by collecting them and putting their components to good use. It’s open to any business to join, and it’s already proven to be incredibly popular. To learn more about how you can do your bit to reduce waste, get in touch today.
Doing our bit to give back
We want everything we do to have a positive impact on our customers and the world around us. We’re committed to giving back to our local community and beyond wherever we can. We’re proud of the difference we made in 2024, supporting good causes like The Burnt Chef Project, which provides mental health support and training to hospitality workers, and The People’s Kitchen, a Newcastle-based charity that provides hot meals and care packages to those who need it most.
Looking ahead
As exciting as 2024 was, we’re most excited about what our success over the past year means for 2025. 2024 was a huge year for us and for our customers – but we think next year will be even bigger.
