Built to the latest environmental specifications, the plant will minimise traffic to and from the site, and optimise logistic costs.
Commenting at the plant’s groundbreaking ceremony, Graham Chipchase, Rexam chief executive, said: “We’re delighted to be joined by our customers, partners and the community of St Gallen to celebrate the start of construction for this exciting new plant. This cutting-edge facility reflects our ambition as a business as we continually strive to innovate and provide our customers with cost-effective and sustainable can packaging solutions.”
The first line in Widnau is due to come on stream in 2015 and the plant will have an incremental capacity when fully built of 2.2 billion cans per year.
