Peak Scientific had a successful evening with Macfarlane Packaging at thte UK Packaging Awards 2018.

Peak Scientific and MacFarlane Packaging collaborated on Peak’s ‘Project McLaren’ to create protective and sustainable packaging for transporting the company’s laboratory gas generation products to global exhibitions.
