Arrow Film Converters, a flexible packaging firm based in West Yorkshire, has been sold out of administration to Coral Products Plc through its subsidiary, Film & Foil Solutions Ltd. The acquisition preserves 55 jobs and ensures continued operations at the company’s Castleford production facility.
Administrators James Clark and Howard Smith of Interpath were appointed on 1 April 2025 and have confirmed that the sale includes key assets such as flexographic printing machines and laminators. These will strengthen Film & Foil’s capabilities in specialist flexible packaging.
The agreement also provides a six-month licence for the business to operate from its BRCGS-accredited Castleford site.
Arrow Film Converters, which has been trading since 2003, reported a turnover of £17.9 million and a pre-tax profit of £231,295 for the year ending 31 July 2023. Coral Products Plc sees the acquisition as a strategic move to expand its production capacity, with a medium-term target of £50 million.
