ABOUT US

Thomas Hardy is a unique, family owned, service company dedicated to bottling and packaging. The Group has two production facilities in the North West that are able to package beer, cider, FABs, RTDs, soft drinks, juice drinks and tonic water in both glass and PET bottles.

As we have no brands of our own, we are able to focus completely on our customers’ requirements and as a bespoke production company, we pride ourselves on service, quality and competitive pricing.

ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY

Thomas Hardy is commited to ensuring that environmental resources will be protected and maintained for future generations. As a company we are always looking at ways to reduce our environmental impact.

RECYCLING
Across our facilities, we recycle approximately 95% of our waste card, wood, glass and plastic. We also run reverse osmosis (RO) process water treatments, reducing our water usage.

CARBON FOOTPRINT
Since 2015, the Group has heavily invested at both production facilities with new technologies to help the reduction of our carbon footprint.

As a company, we constantly explore cleaner, non-polluting and sustainable sources of energy, including the installation of solar panels at both sites.
