SoluPak have Joined the Made in Yorkshire Network!

SoluPak Ltd

We are excited to announce that SoluPak has joined Made in Yorkshire!

SoluPak is one of the UK’s leading manufacturers of water-soluble sachets, pods, films and powders. From our base in Castleford, West Yorkshire, we design, test and manufacture innovative water-soluble technology that’s used across industries as diverse as retail, construction, healthcare and facilities management.

Our mission is to create high-quality, sustainable solutions that help customers reduce plastic, water and carbon in their operations, while showing how responsible manufacturing can thrive locally and internationally.

“At SoluPak, we’re proud to be part of the UK’s manufacturing story … By making our products here in the UK, we not only shorten supply chains and reduce reliance on imports, but also demonstrate that sustainable, innovative manufacturing can thrive locally.”

— Helen McDonald, Managing Director

With over 25 years’ experience, SoluPak is one of the UK’s leading experts in water-soluble products. We combine R&D, formulation, testing, and packaging all under one roof — enabling us to manufacture up to 80,000 sachets per shift using industry-leading equipment and our specialist in-house team.

We’re fully accredited to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001, and our products are recognised with international sustainability marks including Eco Label and Nordic Swan. We also proudly hold accreditations from the Vegan Society and Cruelty Free International, reflecting our commitment to ethical, responsible manufacturing.

Sustainability and innovation are at the heart of what we do. From four consecutive years of Planet Mark certification, to our partnership with the Made Blue Foundation providing clean water to communities around the world, we embed responsibility into every part of our business.

Just as importantly, we take investing in people and skills seriously - creating apprenticeships, supporting career progression, and working with schools and colleges to inspire the next generation - all while ensuring inclusivity is a core part of our culture.

So, why did SoluPak join Made in Yorkshire? Helen explained to MIY:

“For us, joining Made in Yorkshire felt like a natural step. The network represents everything we stand for - championing regional manufacturing, fostering collaboration, and showcasing the best of British innovation. As a proud SME rooted in West Yorkshire, we’re passionate about keeping manufacturing local and proving that businesses of all sizes can deliver world-class solutions from within our region."

Through MIY, we look forward to both sharing our journey and learning from others. Made in Yorkshire offers us a platform to connect with like-minded manufacturers, tackle shared challenges like skills shortages, sustainability, and supply chain resilience, and amplify the innovation and talent that define Yorkshire manufacturing.

We’re excited to be part of this thriving community and can’t wait to collaborate with fellow members across the region!
