What we have experienced
Over the past half century, Bark Packaging Group has developed itself from a packaging company into a value-added service supplier.
We have grown thanks to our knowledge and skills and have been able to add more and more companies to our firm. Scroll through the timeline to see a selection of the main events of our company.
