History of Francis Ward
Francis Ward has been a supplier of reusable containers for more than half a century.
The Company started supplying glass carboys for chemical distribution and moved to blow moulded plastic containers in the 1960’s.
In 1971 the adoption of the rotational moulding process enabled Francis Ward to produce the world’s first plastic free-standing carboy, the ‘Wardrum’.
In 1987 Francis Ward introduced a unique double walled drum the ‘Warboy’ to meet increasing safety requirements. This award winning design is still produced today with more than 1 million ‘Warboys’ manufactured to date.
In 2003 Francis Ward acquired Bison IBC Systems Limited. The extensive Bison range of intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) was added to the drum range creating the widest choice of reusable containers available in the UK.
In 2015 Francis Ward became the packaging division of the Rotational Mouldings Group Ltd, a Group with more than 40 years of rotational moulding experience operating from 3 manufacturing sites in the UK.
