Britvic has announced a £26.9 million investment at its Rugby factory that will see the installation of a fourth canning line.
The investment will see the site’s total capacity increasing by a further 18 per cent. Britvic expects to create at least 20 new jobs at the facility, its largest production site.
The new line will produce recyclable 330ml cans for Britvic’s portfolio of leading brands including Tango, Pepsi and 7UP. The first cans are expected to be produced this November, with the new line fully up and running in 2022.
“This is yet another milestone on our growth journey, investing in both our supply chain and our people,” Paul Graham, Britvic GB Managing Director, commented.
“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.”
