Southern Jar Company Ltd: wholesale glass jars and bottles in the United Kingdom

Southern Jar Company Ltd is a British supplier specialising in the wholesale sale of glass jars, glass bottles and their corresponding closures. The company presents itself as a player with three decades of activity —"30 years selling jars, bottles and lids"— and traces its origins to 1992, the year it began operating in the markets of Romania and Moldavia with quality glass jars with lids at low prices. In 2015 it expanded its scope and, since then, its catalogue has been distributed throughout the United Kingdom.
