"With our new premises we can now accommodate our continued strong growth in the Midlands." Kite has a partnership approach with its 114 employees, the majority of which are shareholders.

Kite provides packaging products and supply solutions to large users of packaging and can help businesses minimise waste and reduce their carbon footprint by re-engineering their packaging and how they use it.
The Kite group includes Kite Environmental Solutions, a compliance scheme for packaging regulations.
