About

Founded in 1969, Faerch is a dairy industry manufacturer based in Holstebro, Denmark selling packaging.

Faerch is a thermoformed food packaging manufacturer founded in Holstebro, Denmark, in 1969 by Jørgen Færch. It produces rigid trays in CPET, PP, PET and APET for ready meals, fresh meat and protein, food to go, dairy products and airline food. Its dairy packaging serves yoghurt, spreads and ice cream producers, following the acquisition of PACCOR, a dairy packaging specialist. The company also runs an integrated recycling business, Cirrec, which recycles used PET food trays back into food grade material at an industrial scale in the Netherlands. Faerch operates production sites across Europe and the US, and is owned by the A.P. Moller Group and the Færch Foundation.
