Winston Score History

The full picture

Robinson plc is a UK-based packaging manufacturer that makes rigid plastic and paperboard containers. Its products include bottles, jars, tubs, and folding cartons used mainly by consumer goods companies in food, beverage, household, and personal care markets. The company has operated for over 180 years, making it one of the older independent packaging suppliers in Britain.

Robinson earns revenue by selling custom-manufactured packaging directly to brand owners, typically under long-term supply relationships. It operates primarily in the UK and Central Europe, with facilities in countries including Poland and Czech Republic. The company is small, with a market cap near zero on public markets, and competes against much larger global packaging groups, which limits its pricing power. Its main growth opportunity lies in winning new contracts with consumer brands seeking sustainable packaging solutions, though rising raw material costs and customer concentration remain ongoing risks.

Cash watch

Robinson has less than a year of cash at its current burn rate. Growth investors should watch for potential share dilution from future fundraising — that directly reduces your ownership.

The Winston Score above measures business quality today. Growth stocks often score lower because they invest in the future rather than maximising current profits. These metrics show what matters most for evaluating that future.

+0.0% over 4y

The share count has stayed roughly flat over this period — little dilution or buyback activity.
