Please join us in giving a warm welcome to our new colleagues from around the world!
Bunzl’s, Chief Executive Officer, Frank van Zanten, said of the acquisitions:

Our acquisition of Containit allows us to expand into an attractive adjacent market, whilst the acquisition of Corsul will allow Bunzl to develop its operations in the Southern Brazilian PPE market. AFL drives our continued expansion into the attractive logistics sectors in Benelux and, at the same time, increases our digital footprint.

Earlier this year, we outlined Bunzl’s immediate response to the outbreak of war in Ukraine, consisting of a £200,000 donation from Bunzl plc to the Disasters Emergency Committee Ukraine Appeal.
Since then, we’re very proud of what has been achieved by the people and businesses across our group who have rallied together to offer continuing support to the people of Ukraine.

Bunzl plc is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement to acquire Hygi.de, a cleaning & hygiene business in Germany, and has completed the acquisition of USL, a healthcare consumables business in New Zealand. We welcome our new colleagues to the Bunzl family!

At Bunzl we have been shocked by the war in Ukraine and the awful crisis that is unfolding.
Across our Group, our businesses are donating essential products including medical consumables, sanitary items, cleaning products and catering consumables to help with the relief efforts in Ukraine and its neighbouring countries.
In addition, Bunzl plc today has donated £200,000 to the Disasters Emergency Committee Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal, through the British Red Cross. Our thoughts are with everyone affected during this very distressing time.

Lifting and moving heavy objects safely is an extremely serious endeavour and can be fraught with danger if the proper precautions aren't taken, which is why the next topic we're covering for our #SafeWorkMonth series is inspections of chain slings.
Beaver G80 & G100 Chain slings are manufactured & tested in accordance with Australian Standard AS3775 Chain Slings should only be used by a competent person.
Here's some of the things you need to do to ensure the safe use and care of chain slings (you can read the full list on our website):
✅Operator to inspect slings for any damage prior to each use
✅Do not use if ID tag is removed or illegible
✅Do not use the chain sling if any signs of defects sighted, such gauges, twists, knots in chain or broken components or links, elongation, excessive heat /chemical damage, excessive wear, or any other sign of defects
✅Never overload the equipment
✅Do not exceed Chain sling WLL & refer to WLL Chart
