New Faerch Plast facility ‘investment in future’

Færch Plast A/S – a European producer of plastics trays and containers for the food industry – has opened a new manufacturing facility in the north of England.

Commissioned in November last year, the new plant has ‘cutting edge’ equipment –including two extruders, six thermoforming machines and the latest robot packing systems – and has already started producing CPET trays, which account for more than 80 per cent of Faerch Plast’s UK sales

Most of the packaging produced at the new facility will be for the ready meal and fresh meat sectors.

“Færch Plast A/S is excited to declare the new UK plant open and operational,” says CEO Lars Gade Hansen. “It further underlines our long-term commitment to establishing local businesses to drive the growth of our products in key markets around the world.

“The UK will be a major contributor to the company’s future growth and this investment will significantly enhance our service and support capabilities in the country.”
