Rexam, a leading global beverage can manufacturer, has secured land in Sri City (55km from Chennai), southern India, as well as in Mahindra World City, Jaipur, northern India, to build two beverage can plants in addition to its existing plant in Mumbai.
Each plant represents an initial investment of close to £50 million and will add a total production capacity of close to 1.6 billion cans. Rexam’s plant in Sri City is expected to be operational by H2 2016 and this will be followed by the plant in Jaipur. The two plants will create around 150 new jobs in each of their local communities.
“These investments will support and enable us to take advantage of the continued exciting growth of the beverage can in India,” said Craig Jones, sector director, Rexam AMEA. “Having plants in different locations across the country will ensure we have a better footprint and position to meet the needs of our customers in the region over the long term.”
