Færch og Datter

Færch og Datter was founded in 1969 in Holstebro, Denmark, and operates today as an integrated corporate investor and plastics manufacturer for the food industry. Its structure circles around one process: collecting, recycling, and thermoforming PET and PP plastics back into packaging. The headquarters on Rasmus Færchs Vej anchors a pan-European production network stretching from Finland and Poland to the Czech Republic and the Netherlands. The firm’s asset-class coverage is concentrated in industrial real assets and specialized manufacturing — specifically food-contact plastics, recycling infrastructure, and tooling technology. Færch operates its own integrated recycling facilities and supplies circular CPET, APET, and MAPET II packaging tailored to shelf life and moisture retention for proteins and meals. Its portfolio companies under the parent structure include Faerch A/S, Paccor France SAS, and Faerch UK Ltd., with operational subsidiaries across 15 countries including Spain, Turkey, and Hungary. Production services North American food manufacturers from sites in Portage, Indiana and Excelsior Springs, Missouri. The group employs a distributed legal-entity model with country-level operating companies, each holding distinct VAT and registration identifiers. In May 2024, the firm continued to publicize its core capabilites — circular thermoformed packaging with integrated recycling — across a multi-jurisdiction web presence emphasizing food manufacturers and retailers. Additional arms include Faerch Durham Ltd. and Faerch Poole Ltd. in the UK, reflecting a holding structure that bundles regional production units under shared corporate governance. Færch og Datter’s structural differentiator is the internalized recycling loop. Most packaging firms source virgin resin or buy recycled flake on the open market; Færch owns and operates the recycling line, the tooling, and the thermoforming presses — a vertically integrated chain that keeps margin inside the group and gives it direct control over material quality and feedstock security for food-grade circularity.
