Packaging manufacturer Sirane has made a multi-million-pound investment in new site for its board division.
The company said new site, a few miles away from its HQ in Telford, Shropshire, will also allow it to invest further in eco-friendly packaging technologies.
Simon Balderson, Sirane managing director, said: “We’ve added around 40,000 sq ft of manufacturing space in total. This is a hugely significant expansion in the history of Sirane.
“Technologies which allow for plastic replacement in packaging are becoming increasingly important, and this investment is about both the present and the future. We’ve been looking for additional space for a while, so it’s great news for the company that we’ve finally got the keys.
“It will also give us space to expand our co-packing and fulfilment business, an area which has seen significant growth in the last few years.”
Sirane manufactures a range of sustainable packaging solutions already, including plastic-free barrier films and pouches, compostable/recyclable boards such as salmon boards and recyclable sandwich packs.
Balderson added the new site will allow further investment in its board division, and it was looking to increase the potential to further replace plastics with coated boards and papers.
Sirane already operates two manufacturing sites in Telford – both on Stafford Park – one with 100,000 sq ft of manufacturing and a second 32,000 sq ft – housing the company’s absorbency and flexible packaging operations.
Machinery and materials are being installed, and small-scale manufacturing should begin before the end of the month, with full-scale manufacturing scheduled to begin before Easter.
