History
Our History
Founded in 1972 by Martin Boran, almost 50 years later the company remains 100% family owned and has grown to become the leading manufacturer of flexible packaging in Ireland. In 2003 Mopack Systems Limited founded in 1981 by Pat Blee became part of the Boran Group and was renamed Boran Mopack. This has ensured the Boran Group has presence in both the Republic of Ireland and the UK and as both sites mirror each other allows for a contingency plan if ever required.
