Class Plastics to build presence in South Australia

Rigid plastics packaging specialist Class Plastics Australia has announced a new partnership that will build on its strengths in South Australia.

Current directors Daniel Carapellotti and Mario Nastri will partner with Craig Bubner, who has just joined the company as managing director.

Born and raised in Adelaide, Bubner will use his local know-how to serve customers in SA.

Class Plastics' Dudley Park warehouse will be used to grow the customer base in the state.

"We will continue to hold stock in SA and plan to have 50 to 100 pallets across the product range at any given time," Bubner said.

"Our competitive pricing will remain the same, and if we don't have it in SA there's every chance we will have it in our Victoria warehouse and we can get it dispatched quickly and efficiently."

Class Plastics has seen fast growth in recent years, and continues to build on this with its Anti-Glug and Barrier Technology Baritainer.
