Why join the FPA
Be a part of our vibrant and friendly community
If foodservice packaging plays a role in your business at any point in the supply chain – as a manufacturer, distributor or foodservice/hospitality operator – your company should consider joining the Foodservice Packaging Association.
The challenges faced by the sector are complex and far-reaching. Our aim is to educate, inform and support our members through these issues, and help create a level playing field for all.
There has never been a more important time to become a member of the trade association that represents your interests at all levels – whether that be with central and devolved governments, government agencies or other industry related bodies.
Our members love to get together, so we also make sure we create plenty of opportunities for networking and having fun!
