Stell, a long-established, family-owned manufacturer of cardboard tubes and cores, is serving customers across the UK and Europe from its 100,000 square foot facility in West Yorkshire. The company, which employs around 120 people, boasts over 1,000 longstanding customers, some of whom have been buying from them for over a decade. They’re rarely beaten on price and never on value, delivering a wide range of products from industrial cores to retail packaging tubes. Stell produces an impressive 16,000 kilometers of cardboard tubes annually – the equivalent of the distance between London and Sydney!

Stell operates primarily as a manufacturer, not an e-commerce business. Their website showcases their product range—spiral tubes, convolute tubes, printed tubes, specialist and customised tubes, and various market-specific solutions like carpet tubes, label cores, and packaging tubes. The site is structured to highlight their expertise and capabilities, with dedicated sections for products, markets, and case studies. The website is easy to navigate, with clear calls to action encouraging visitors to “call us today” or “get a quick callback.”

Financially, Stell appears to be navigating a period of change. While turnover increased by a healthy 14% to £9.2 million, net assets decreased by 14% to £3.5 million. Bank borrowings have decreased by 12%, suggesting a reduction in debt, and cash bank on hand has increased by 21% to £27,000. However, administrative expenses have risen by 15% to £4.1 million, and director remuneration has increased by 12% to £430,000. Perhaps most notably, the company’s accrued liabilities deferred income have grown by 30% to £200,000, and the corporation tax payable has jumped to £180,000. The audit firm BHP LLP conducted the audit. These changes could be attributed to increased operational costs or strategic investments in the business, but the decline in net assets warrants further scrutiny. The company’s workforce has also decreased by 7%, from 130 to 120 employees, which could reflect restructuring efforts or changing market conditions.
