Bunzl plc was incorporated in 1940 and listed on the London Stock Exchange in 1957, but its origins date back to 1854 when Moritz Bunzl opened a small haberdashery business in Bratislava, now the capital of Slovakia.

The business has changed and grown considerably over the years to become what is now a leading specialist distribution group, supplying a broad range of non-food consumables that are essential for its customers to operate their businesses but which they do not actually sell.

Bunzl plc is a FTSE 100 company with a revenue and adjusted operating profit for the year ended 31 December 2016 at £7.4bn and £525m respectively. Its operations span across 30 countries and 5 continents and the group employs more than 16,000 people. Group companies operate in the grocery, foodservice, cleaning and safety, non-food retail, healthcare and redistribution markets.
