Our story

Celebrating 50 Years of Quality Packaging

We’re celebrating 50 years since Paul Mehta founded Polyclear in 1976. It all started in a small garden shed, housing just one machine.

Since 2012, eldest son Jatin has been carrying the torch, ensuring Polyclear continues to uphold the quality, integrity and customer service to which it has long built its name to.

Sister company

You can now find Amberdale here.

As we celebrate 50 years of Polyclear, we're simplifying how our customers find and purchase our products and that includes our sister company Amberdale.

Going forward, Amberdale and Polyclear will become more closely integrated under the name Polyclear Group. Customers will no longer need to go to two separate places to find and order what they need.

This reflects our continued focus on making things simpler as we move into the next chapter of the business.
