Printweek reported that the company, based in Lincoln and Ellesmere Port in the UK, was acquired by its most recent owners in 2008.

Krystals operated a blow moulding plant for pharmaceutical containers, which it described as one of the most environmentally friendly in Europe, producing millions of units weekly.

The company also served the corrugated packaging sector, offering products ranging from multicolour digitally printed shelf-ready corrugated boxes to heavy-duty double-wall stitched transit cases.

Gareth Harris and Chris Ratten of RSM UK Restructuring Advisory were appointed joint administrators of A, R & S Shingdia, trading as Krystals.

The company operated under an unlimited partnership structure with trading names Krystals, Krystals Premier, and Krystals Packaging.

RSM UK, in a statement, said: “Following their appointment the joint administrators completed a sale of plant and machinery relating to the bottling plant located at the Lincoln site.

“The remaining plant and machinery at the Lincoln site remains available and the administrators are seeking to sell this via auction.

“The administrators continue to explore options for the Ellesmere Port site with parties interested in purchasing the remaining business and assets welcomed to make enquiries.”

The administrators confirmed that all roughly 80 employees were made redundant, and operations ceased on 23 May 2025, with no outstanding contracts in place.
