Essentra Announces Newport Investment

UK firm Essentra, which produces packaging for the consumer health-care and personal-care industries, has announced that it is to expand its production facility in Newport, Wales.

The investment, which is backed by the Welsh government, will see Essentra more than double its staff count at the 225,000-square-foot site, according to ITV News.

"As a global leading provider of specialist pharmaceutical, health and personal care, and consumer goods packaging," said Hugh Ross, managing director, Europe, at Essentra. "Essentra’s objective is to remain at the forefront of these industries, in terms of continuing to provide our customers with a comprehensive product offering, compelling value proposition and excellent customer service.

"Our further substantial additional investment in Newport will extend the capability and capacity of the existing site as a centre of excellence for the manufacture and future development of our extensive range of innovative packaging, and will ensure that we are optimally positioned to continue to meet the exacting requirements of our customers."
