Encirq Corporation

Established in 1998 with its first plant in Northern Ireland, Encirc has developed into a significant player in the beverage supply chain, now operating as part of the Vidrala Group. The company distinguishes itself by providing an integrated '360' service model that covers the entire production and distribution process for its clients in the beverage industry.

Encirc’s business encompasses three core services: the manufacturing of glass containers, beverage filling, and comprehensive warehousing and logistics. This integrated approach allows customers to streamline their supply chain, reduce transportation costs, and lower their overall environmental footprint. The company serves leading global food and beverage brands, producing over three billion glass containers annually and holding a substantial 40% market share in the UK for filling wine, beer, and spirits bottles. Revenue is generated through the sale of glass containers and fees for its filling, warehousing, and distribution services.

The company's primary product is high-quality container glass, manufactured using advanced technology to minimize its carbon footprint. Beyond manufacturing, its key service is the integrated supply chain solution, which offers clients a single, unified partner for production and logistics, a unique offering in the market. Encirc operates from three main sites: Derrylin in Northern Ireland, and Elton and Bristol in England, employing nearly 2,000 people.
