Britvic makes new commitment to UK supply chain
Britvic is investing £26.9 million into the future of its factory in Rugby, which is its largest production site.
Work will include the installation of a fourth canning line to expand the site’s total capacity by a further 18%.
The new set-up will produce recyclable 330ml cans for Britvic’s Tango, Pepsi and 7UP brands. The first cans are expected to be produced this November, with the new line fully up and running in 2022.
Paul Graham, Britvic GB managing director, said: “This is yet another milestone on our growth journey, investing in both our supply chain and our people. This new state of the art canning line will be a fantastic boost for Britvic’s Rugby facility which continues to produce recyclable cans for some of our most popular brands. We look forward to using this additional capacity as a platform to drive further innovation.”
