10 Jobs Created At Dungannon Packaging Firm

10 new jobs are to be created as part of a £2.2m expansion at Dungannon's Greiner Packaging Ltd.

Enterprise Minister Arlene Foster announced the investment in new In-Mould Labelling (IML) technology during a visit to the Austrian-owned company.

She said: "This investment of £2.2m is a testament to the vision of the company in continually introducing new technology and manufacturing processes that is enabling it to meet market demand for his packaging expertise especially from major customers in food processing.

"Invest Northern Ireland has offered over £200,000 towards the project which will also create 10 new jobs for Dungannon in addition to the 210 already employed by this progressive international company. The scale of the investment by the Greiner Group is evidence of the quality and calibre of the Northern Ireland operation and speaks volumes on its ability to deliver in challenging economic times."

Jarek Zasadzinski, CEO Greiner Packaging UK, said: "This is a significant strategic investment for the company and indeed the group. The IML equipment has already enabled us to expand our packaging portfolio and to secure significant new business from international customers.

"In 2012 Greiner Packaging Ltd saw a growth of over 17% and was the fastest growing site from Greiner Packaging International. Thanks to this new technology, the growth in 2013 will be even on a larger scale."
