Any attempt at a world speed record is exciting.  When you have been chosen as a supplier to such a venture, it is even more thrilling.

Bampton Packaging, a transit and storage packaging provider and designer and manufacturer of packaging solutions, is delighted to be one of the suppliers for Bloodhound, an international education initiative focused on a 1000mph world land speed record attempt planned for 2013 in South Africa.

Yet, how does the supersonic car’s equipment move around safely…without specialist packaging of the equipment?  Bampton Packaging has already started work kitting out the Bloodhound van which takes exhibitions round the country, explaining the project and stimulating people’s interest, especially young people.

Matt Brown, Sales and Technical Director at Bampton says, “specialist transit packaging may not be the glamorous side of the Bloodhound project but without it this record attempt could not happen. The intricate design requirements for packing in the Bloodhound project are exactly what we do – our design team are great at providing bespoke solutions to unusual packing requests.  Another reason that drew us to Bloodhound was that it is a real catalyst in galvanising a generation of scientists, technologists, engineers and mathematicians, and companies like us depend on such talent.”
