The Greif Delta Group of companies consists of five privately owned businesses operating in the industrial packaging and recycling sectors. To this day and since the mid 1970's the majority shareholding of all businesses in the group has been held by the White family.
Delta Containers started trading in the late 1970s and eventually formed as a limited company in 1983 by Mr. William White. During the 80s and early 90s the focus of the business was reconditioning steel drums, however, with the rise in popularity of IBCs and plastic packaging, the business' focus shifted. Nowadays, Greif Delta Containers (Manchester) is the largest reconditioner of composited IBCs in the UK, supplying the market in excess of 180,000 new, rebottled, reconditioned IBCs every year. More recently the business invested in a HDPE extrusion and pelletizing line, producing high quality HDPE recycled pellets (PCR). PCR pellets are suitable for use in manufacturing new packaging. William White retired from the business in 2011, handing the day-to-day management of the company to his son, Adam White.
