The investment and creation of 16 high-quality jobs will support economic development in the area and aligns with my ambition for a regionally balanced economy.
“Introducing advanced automation and machinery onsite will not only enhance the company’s productivity but boost its competitiveness and export footprint on a global scale. I am particularly pleased this new investment will include environmentally sustainable features to reduce the company’s carbon emissions which aligns with our decarbonisation goal of achieving net zero.”
