Audit & accounting basis

- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Papier-Mettler Group indicated its intention to make available such funds as are needed by the company for 12 month post signing the company financial statements. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Turnover decreased by 2% to £68,716,150 (2024: £70,108,161) due to a decrease in the demand from existing customers and lower prices.”
- “Profit before taxation has increased from £4,656,066 in 2024 to £4,839,305 in 2025.”
- “The company continued to maintain a very strong balance sheet position with net assets at 31 December 2025 being £15,866,453 (2024: £12,245,194).”
- “The ongoing customer awareness in the countrywide transformation from single use to reusable packaging remains to be the most important task for the Papier-Mettler UK employees and their related sales activities.”
- “The directors are mindful of environmental issues and have sought to minimize the impact of the company's activities on the environment by successfully developing packaging products manufactured from recycled materials which are available to all customers.”
