Packaging machinery producer Redpack has announced it sustained its sales up to the end of last year, with new contracts worth £250,000. The Norfolk-based firm that makes flow wrapping machines said it goes into 2009 with a strong order book, and despite the recession, is optimistic about the year ahead.

Redpack's Steve Crow said: "The markets in which our machines are widely used include the food and fresh produce industries and although we are operating in a difficult economy, both at home and in many of our overseas markets, people still need to eat."

The flow wrapping specialist has being going for over 30 years and has enlarged its premises by adding two new production bays, with further extensions planned along with computer system enhancements and upgrades.
