Coca-Cola European Partners invests 2.3 million pounds in Scottish plant | Progresiv
Coca-Cola European Partners (CCEP) has today announced investment of 2.3 million pounds in its manufacturing site in East Kilbride, Scotland. The ‘significant investment’ at the site has funded the development of a new water treatment plant, as well as the modernisation of wider infrastructure at the factory, which replaces an older installation. The new plant will allow a more efficient water recovery system from the site’s four manufacturing lines, saving an estimated 9 million litres of water a year, and went active earlier this month. It brings the total investment by CCEP at the site to 18 million pounds. 
The investment forms part of CCEP’s ongoing commitment towards sustainable manufacturing in Scotland and a wider 56 million pounds investment across its six manufacturing sites in Great Britain this year alone. East Kilbride employs over 150 people from the region, producing over 16 million cases of product a year. It was the first of CCEP’s factories to install an Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS) warehouse and is its only site to produce Appletiser. (www.foodbev.com)
