Construction work on the 11,000sq m production facility, where the manufacturing of composite cans is already in production, was completed in July.
WPG invested more than £10m in the expansion of its Weidenhammer UK subsidiary. All indications point to continued growth. In early 2012, WPG plan to launch production of high quality plastic packaging based on In-Mould Labelling technology in Bradford.
The new factory building will be officially inaugurated in mid-November with a grand opening ceremony.
A new era began for the approximate 60 Weidenhammer UK staff with the relocation of the first production line in late August. Paul Barber, general manager, Weidenhammer UK, said: “The new facility provides plenty of room for growth. Along with a well connected infrastructure, it meets the highest production standards. We are all very happy with the new building and the local working conditions.”
