Paul Graham, Britvic managing director in Great Britain, said: “This investment is another example of our commitment to our people, product and planet goals. Developing our state-of-the-art supply chain means that we can increase the production capacity of peoples’ favourite brands, create more jobs and improve efficiency helping to reduce waste. We look forward to seeing the new canning line in action.” The new line will see capacity increase by 14%, enabling Britvic to produce 80,000 recyclable 330ml cans per hour for some of the UK’s biggest soft drinks brands, including Tango and Pepsi Max. The news follows Britvic’s announcement of a £27 million canning line in the factory in October 2021, and a £19 million upgrade to its distribution centre last year. The first cans are expected to hit shelves in the next few weeks.
