British Polythene Industries PLC
 PROFILE
Wrap star British Polythene Industries (BPI) is kickin' it old-school with its line of industrial and consumer packaging products. The company's wares include packaging for consumer care products, frozen foods, snacks, cigarettes, and candy. BPI also makes a variety of film products -- including shrink, stretch, lamination, and coated film -- designed to protect goods in transit. Industrial products include heavy-duty sacks used by the chemical, horticulture, aggregate, and animal feed industries. BPI's recycled products division makes molded items such as outdoor furniture, as well as refuse sacks and agricultural films. Despite a protracted hostile takeover attempt in 2000, Macfarlane Group failed to acquire BPI.
