O-I recently unveiled its Euros 30M investment in its Alloa, Scotland plant - and promised more is to come. Senior management including global CEO Al Stroucken and European President Erik Bouts attended the official celebration during a ceremony at the plant. They were joined by Scottish Government Ministers who had helped secure a £3.9M grant from Scottish Enterprise to assist in the upgrade. Mr Stroucken and Mr Bouts said the multi million pound modernisation was part of 140M/Euros investment in its European plants that will take place throughout 2014. The investment will take place in the Alloa facility over three years and include upgrades of its product design and development capabilities. The result will be that it can create more packaging solutions to meet the drinks industry needs for segmentation, differentiation and premiumisation.
