History
Our History
Founded in 1972 by Martin Boran, the company has remained 100% family-owned for nearly 50 years 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 that the Boran Group has a 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.
