(PlastEurope) -- The new in-plant
run by plastics packaging manufacturer Nampak Plastics at Dale Farm’s dairy
in Ballymena, Northern Ireland has begun full operations. The company reports
that the “hole in the wall” facility’s three blow moulding machines have begun supplying the dairy
with 1 pint, 1 litre and 2 litre bottles, adding that it expects to bring on
stream its fourth 2 litre machine at the end of this month. The plant will then
have a weekly capacity of more than 2.5m bottles.
The new plant supports its regional development plans, Nampak said, adding
that it believes that ongoing growth in distribution sales will increase the
facility’s current staff of 16 to up to 25 by the end of the year.
