Our history

'89

Wood Storage Boxes

The story of Caterbox started in 1989 when we noticed the lack of storage solutions in the day-by-day world. Therefore, we started creating boxes to suit our customer's requirements. Caterbox began to manufacture custom made wooden boxes, with and without compartments. Mostly for storing and transporting glasses, cup, plates and catering equipment on hire.

'90

Correx Glassware Box

In 1990 we teamed up with the UK's leading corrugated sheet manufacturer to bring forth to the world the FIRST Corrugated plastic Glassjack also known as Correx Glassware Storage Boxes. Since then, Pack, Protect & Store became our definition.

'93

Plate Storage Box

However, that wasn't good enough for us and in 1993 we introduced both full & half size Euro containers forming our Euro Stacking Container range, which we adapted to store plates and glasses with a comprehensive range of divider combinations.

'98

12 Martin Glass Crate

And we just continued going forward to another major breakthrough in 1998 when we introduced the FIRST Glass Wash & Store Crate. Its footprint compatible with conveyor washing machines meaning glassware could get to its location safely and clean, reducing any unnecessary labour involved in the cleaning process. Handling and breakages where reduced, a godsend for event hire companies across the UK.

'05

storage box

IIn 2005 we improved our custom made boxes by switching the marital from wood to plastic, this meant our Bespoke Boxes are hygienic, lightweight, durable and water resistant. This product became more suited for use in the modern catering environment.

'14

OW.Dishwasher RacksGlass Rack Plastic Containers

And Then we started to think outside the box! In 2014 we partnered up with World Leading Dishwasher Rack Manufacture FRIES. Caterbox became the FRIES UK distributor stocking the full range of Dishwasher Racks, Glasswasher Baskets & Conveyor Racks, providing expertise across the ranges. Customise in-house to the exact measurement required, these racks are purposely designed for washing, storing and transporting glasses efficiently thus reducing handling and increasing productivity.

'16

Box Branding

We have always relied on our manufacturers to provide printing when needed, which had extended lead times significantly affecting our normal efficient service. In 2016, we had enough of making our customers wait and introduced our very own In house print service. Promoting your brand couldn’t be simpler, with a choice of thermal graphic print and multi colour vinyl labels our products are now even more customisable then before. This fast and flexible print service offers unlimited media options including text, logo’s, barcodes and even QR codes.

'20

Saucer Storage Crate V175 30R

2020 saw us update our cutting systems to the latest digital technology. This allowed us to significantly improve the design of our box dividers thus producing a product with smooth rounded edges for better washing results and improved all round usability. With our new system in place we were able to create a new Plate Wash and Store Crate range with individual slotted compartments allowing water and air to circulate throughout the crate.
