Standing Out Among the UK’s Best
The UK Packaging Awards celebrate excellence, innovation and achievement across the packaging industry, recognising businesses that are setting the standard in their respective fields.
Competition was particularly strong this year, with Calleva Nutrition shortlisted alongside six other companies from across the UK. Our entry stood out in a competitive field, earning us the top award. The awards featured a panel of 34 respected industry judges, including experts from major household names such as Superdrug, Asda and Ocado, making the recognition even more meaningful.
To be recognised on a national stage, alongside some of the industry’s leading businesses, is an honour and a significant milestone in Calleva Nutrition’s journey.
More Than Just a Contract Manufacturer
At Calleva, we’ve always believed that great manufacturing is about more than simply producing and packing products.
Our ambition is to be a trusted partner to the brands we work with, helping them turn ideas into successful products through technical expertise, flexibility and a genuine commitment to their success.
From initial formulation and product development through to manufacturing, packing and scale-up, we work closely with our customers at every stage of their journey.
Whether we’re supporting an ambitious start-up launching its first product or an established brand looking to expand its range, our approach remains the same: understand what our customers need, find the right solutions and deliver products we can all be proud of.
This award is recognition of that approach and the relationships we’ve built with our customers over the years.
A Win Made Possible by Our Customers
One of the most rewarding parts of the awards process came before we even reached the final.
As part of our entry, we were required to share customer testimonials of their experience of working with Calleva. The feedback we received was incredibly encouraging and reminded us why we do what we do.
For us, being a great manufacturing partner isn’t just about having the right equipment or technical capabilities. It’s about being responsive, solving problems, understanding our customers’ businesses and being a team they can rely on.
Knowing that our customers value these qualities enough to support our award entry made the achievement particularly special.
Celebrating the People Behind Calleva
While the award recognises Calleva Nutrition as a business, the real credit belongs to our people. The whole Team Calleva.
Behind every successful product is a team of talented individuals, from our formulation and technical specialists to our production, packing, quality and customer service teams.
Their knowledge, attention to detail, willingness to go the extra mile and commitment to doing things properly are what make Calleva the business it is today.
This award is a reflection of their collective efforts and something that everyone across Calleva Nutrition and Calleva Ingredients can be incredibly proud of.
Looking Ahead
Winning Co-Manufacturer & Packer of the Year is an exciting milestone, but we’re not stopping here.
We’re continuing to invest in our people, capabilities and manufacturing processes to ensure we can support our customers as their businesses grow and the nutritional products market evolves.
Our focus remains on delivering high-quality products, building lasting partnerships and finding new ways to help brands succeed.
To our fantastic team, our customers and our partners – thank you. Your hard work, support and trust have helped make this achievement possible.
We’re incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved together, and even more excited about what comes next.
