Company Overview
Bradman Lake designs and manufactures packaging machinery spanning primary packaging, secondary packaging, and tertiary (end-of-line) packaging. The company supplies integrated packaging solutions for food and other industrial market sectors, supported by manufacturing facilities, in-house R&D, and subsidiaries in key locations.
Bradman Lake is part of the multi-disciplined global UK engineering group Langley Holdings and operates as a Langley Holdings company.
Background and Group Development
Bradman Lake was established in 1969 in Bristol, UK. In 1990, the company opened its US operation in Charlotte, NC.
Within the wider group context, the company references additional heritage brands and expansions that broadened packaging and bakery-sector capabilities:
- Europack: Since 1966, Europack was the UK’s leading end-of-line packaging machinery manufacturer, specialising in standard and customised film wrapping and board packaging equipment. Key products in the Europack machinery range included shrink and stretch wrappers, pallet stretch wrappers, case packers, tray erectors and loaders, wraparound tray and case packers, and robotic palletisers.
- Ibonhart: Founded in 1979 in Norwich, UK, Ibonhart is a producer of high-capacity automatic bread slicing and bagging equipment for bakery and ancillary industries, exporting worldwide and working with international agents in countries including Australia, Russia, Holland, South Africa, and Romania. In 2017, Ibonhart was purchased by the Bradman Lake Group to expand Bradman Lake’s product offering to the bakery sector.
In 2007, the Bradman Lake Group was acquired as a wholly owned subsidiary of the privately owned UK-based industrial group Langley Holdings.
