To both improve capacity and its sustainability efforts, Smurfit Kappa has approved investment plans for its Mold plant in North Wales. The capacity expansion will make it the largest box factory in the UK.

 

This will also allow Smurfit Kappa to meet the growing demand for sustainable packaging. 

 

The investment will reduce CO2 per ton emissions by 15% at the plant.

 

“This investment in North Wales will increase our capability, flexibility and speed of response to deliver unrivaled, innovative packaging solutions to customers across the UK and Ireland,” said Eddie Fellows, Smurfit Kappa UK and Ireland CEO. “We are determined to meet the future needs of our customers in a sustainable way. It is vital that our investment has benefits for the local community and the environment.”

 

A three-acre nature trail will be constructed, incorporating a local stream and a new foot-path which can be used by both site staff and the local community.
