Eddie Smith, director of operations for AMPD, said: "I consider Oryen to be a first class addition to the current membership of 13. With a wealth of experience in the packager community, considerable distribution volumes via a well established lender panel and a thorough grasp of the issues moving forward, I have no doubt that ORYEN will be a valuable asset to the aims and objectives of AMPD moving forward."
Smith commented AMPD had been cautious in terms of accepting new members and added: "We wanted to ensure we didn't grow our membership just for the sake of it. AMPD is all about quality distribution via planned growth and ORYEN certainly fit those requirements."
Andrew Hewitt, operations director at Oryen, said: "The directors of Oryen are delighted to be joining AMPD and we feel its constituent members share the same value systems as ourselves with regard to service delivery and embracing technology to fulfil our objectives. We look forward to working alongside some well respected names in the packaging industry and to contributing towards our collective goals."
