When Norman Macfarlane founded his commercial stationery business, N.S. Macfarlane & Co Limited, on 26th April 1949, after being demobbed following his National Service, he couldn’t have known that it would develop into the very significant business that it is today. Now, as it celebrates its 70th birthday this week, Macfarlane Group PLC is a fully listed company on the UK Stock Market and the UK leader in the distribution of protective packaging materials, the design and manufacture of protective packaging and the printing of self-adhesive and resealable labels.
