Who Is FDA Packaging
Our Story
Welcome to FDA Packaging, where innovation meets reliability! Founded in the beautiful city of Norwich, UK, in 1994, our journey began with a visionary named Peter Hodgkinson. With a wealth of experience as a Chief Development Engineer in the packaging industry, Peter saw the flaws in conventional packaging machines. These machines, often built with subpar components, led to high maintenance costs and frequent breakdowns. Tired of constantly fixing other companies’ machines, Peter decided to take matters into his own hands.
Peter’s mission was clear: to design packaging machines that stood the test of time, reducing the need for constant maintenance and repairs. He envisioned a world where machines were so well-built that they rarely needed servicing. While this wasn’t the most lucrative business model to profit from repairs, Peter was unwavering in his commitment to his customers. He was dedicated to creating machines that were not only dependable but also freed his customers from the burden of high ongoing costs due to breakdowns, service charges, and proprietary parts.
This vision gave birth to the FLEXWRAP series, a line of machines built on the principles of flexibility, simplicity, and durability. Peter’s dedication to quality and customer satisfaction laid the groundwork for FDA Packaging’s success.
Fast forward to today, and the legacy continues under the leadership of Peter’s son, Craig Hodgkinson. Craig has brought a fresh perspective, modernizing and enhancing the company’s efficiency while staying true to his father’s core values. He shares Peter’s passion for robust design and has introduced updates and improvements without compromising the machines’ fundamental simplicity and ease of maintenance.
Under Craig’s guidance, FDA Packaging continues to flourish, delivering top-notch, user-friendly packaging solutions to customers around the globe. Join us on our journey as we continue to innovate and set new standards in the packaging industry.
