Leading soft drinks company Britvic is investing more than £100milllion in its facility in Rugby as part of a broader £240m three-year investment programme in its GB manufacturing capability. The company has installed three new PET bottling lines, a new on-site warehouse and an aseptic line to manufacture preservative-free drinks.
Britvic has also unveiled three new can lines that will produce up to 6,000 cans per minute. This year, Britvic’s steel can formats have moved to aluminium cans, enabling the company to reduce the amount of metal it uses annually by 8,000 tonnes.
Jeremy Howard, Director of Production at Britvic, said: “We are delighted to welcome Mr. Pawsey to our Rugby site today to see our new state-of-the-art manufacturing and logistics capability. It is a proud moment for the team here and for all our partners who have supported us in our ambition to create a world-class manufacturing site.
“Sustainability remains at the heart of our business and this project. Through our GB investment programme, we are investing for the future and remain committed to continuing to make a positive difference to our communities and to the world around us – helping to make it healthier, happier, and more sustainable.”
