A THREE-way sales merger at a packaging company will mean a bigger range of products for its Worcestershire clients.

Restructuring by the US-based Myers Group has seen Allibert Handling, of Droitwich, Gloucester firm Allibert Helix and Buckhorn Ltd, based in Stanton Harcourt, Oxfordshire, brought under the same sales umbrella.

Now Allibert's European standard containers and pallets, distribution containers and plastic storage boxes will be marketed along with Allibert Helix's fluid storage tanks, spill control products and liquid handling equipment equipment.

Buckhorn's specialist containers and bulk boxes, racking and shelving and heavy-duty containers will also be showcased by the sales force.

"We can now offer even more comprehensive handling and storage solutions," said Allibert general manager Peter Good.

"The three brands complement each other and enable us to offer a more concentrated geographical coverage, a wider product range and further improved customer service."

Myers Group, based in Akron, Ohio, took over Allibert in February 1999. Its turnover now exceeds $650m - about £500m.
