Bevcraft Group in FT1000 Fastest Growing Companies in Europe for third year running

First time an Irish company has featured three years in a row

Bevcraft Group have, for the third time, been included in the annual FT1000 Fastest Growing Companies in Europe list, published by the Financial Times in partnership with Statista.

The league table ranks the companies according to their growth rate over a four-year period. This is the eighth year the ranking has been published.

Bevcraft Group are among three Irish companies in this year’s list and ranked 298th across Europe.

Darren Fenton, Bevcraft COO, said: “Bevcraft Group are delighted to be included in the FT1000 list for a third year running, along with so many great businesses across Europe, and we are particularly excited to feature as one of just three Irish companies in the list.

“Our hard-working teams across Ireland, the UK, Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands and the USA serve hundreds of brilliant craft beverage producers with a comprehensive range of canning, digital print, laboratory and distribution services.”

Mr Fenton said the economic climate over the last year has been much more unsettled for everyone, including craft brewers, beverage producers, hospitality and wider industry, and that “we are fortunate to work closely with three excellent manufacturing partners – Ball, Crown and Canpack in executing our shared growth strategy of driving the shift towards infinitely recyclable aluminium packaging across all beverage categories”.

Bevcraft have continually reinvested in their canning, print, logistics and laboratory operations, supported by HSBC, AIB and PTSB, and state agencies including Enterprise Ireland.

“Within each market we are privileged to work with local suppliers who have helped us along the journey – we look forward to the next chapter as we have plans for our operations in Europe and North America.”
