Delyn wraps up its expansion plans

 

2 June 2011

 

£295,000 third-round investment from Finance Wales enabled  Delyn Packaging to meet increased demand.

 

The debt investment, coupled with a £275,000 Welsh Assembly Government grant, enabled the food packaging company to relocate to new 53,000 square-feet manufacturing facilities at Ystrad Mynach.

 

Finance Wales has previously invested £250,000 in Delyn and this latest round will support its expansion plans as it increases its blue chip client base. The company also has plans to recruit additional staff as demand for its recyclable food packaging continues to grow.

 

Mike Keenor, Managing Director explains: “Over the past three years we’ve have focussed relentlessly on quality, customer service and reducing the environmental impact of our packaging.

 

“This strategy has resulted in a number of new contracts for our fully recyclable rPET food packaging. We’re now supplying an increasing number of the UK’s leading food manufacturers and retailers.”

 

Rachel Miles, Portfolio Monitoring Manager said: “Delyn has a solid reputation for quality and innovation in the packaging industry. Added to this, it’s an early adopter of new technologies and materials that aim to reduce the environmental impact of food packaging.

 

The food packaging manufacturer has an extensive plastic food packaging range and supplies many leading UK food manufacturers and retailers.
