Company Profile

A.W.Stokes are a family run company who have been manufacturers of packaging products for British industry for more than 100 years. Initially the family were concerned with the manufacture of wooden barrels but in 1965 the present company was established as re-conditioners of steel drums. Customers enquiries quickly established that there was a niche market within the industry for a flexible manufacturer of new drums, able to react quickly to the needs of customers without the bureaucracy and time constraints often associated with the larger producers. A.W.Stokes therefore purchased the latest ‘state of the art’ drum making equipment capable of meeting the most exacting standards for 210 litre UN Certified steel drums and closed its re-conditioning plant.
