The company’s roots go back to 1854 when Moritz Bunzl launched a small haberdashery business in Bratislava, Slovakia. In 1940, Bunzl plc was established as a manufacturer of cigarette filters and tissue paper. Later, it incorporated the production of fibres, paper, pulp, plastics and building materials. The business restructured itself as a company solely focused on distribution through a divestment process, which began in the early 90s. The BNZL share price has been listed on the London Stock Exchange since 1957. Today, the company is featured in the FTSE 100 index.
