During an event attended by O-I chairman and CEO Al Stroucken, customers, employees and government officials, the company highlighted the plant’s upgraded capabilities to better serve the Scotch whisky industry and other drinks businesses.
The investment includes a £3.9m Regional Selective Assistance grant from Scottish Enterprise.
“We have upgraded Alloa’s design, new product development, glass colour and decoration facilities,” said Erik Bouts, president of O-I Europe. “We would like to thank Scottish Enterprise for its support in strengthening our ability to serve the developing needs of the spirits industry in Scotland.”
The investment in Alloa is part of the company’s asset optimisation programme. Over three years, O-I is investing significantly in Europe to strengthen its capabilities and market leadership position.
