Johnsen & Jorgensen relaunches as Pont Packaging

Johnsen & Jorgensen, the UK-based division of Pont Europe, has been relaunched as Pont Packaging.

The company first merged with Pont Europe in 2011 and has latterly traded in the UK as J&J Pont Packaging.

It was first established in 1884 by two young Norwegians who began importing an unlikely combination of bottles and polar bear skins into London.

The business continues to source an extensive portfolio of packaging products across a range of key markets including food and drink, personal care and pharmaceutical and the industrial and chemicals sector.

Pont Europe’s marketing manager, Ulric Lonfils, said: “Since the merger between the two companies the relationship has flourished over the past couple of years and this summer’s re-brand is a logical extension of that, bringing the UK division in line with the rest of Pont’s European offices.”
