Operating in various fields including energy, mining, shipping, media, glass and chemicals, Ciner Group will build a GBP 350m two-furnace glass and package production plant in Wales in the UK, according to a statement from the company. “South Wales is in a good position to serve our customers’ existing UK operations. Good access to the road and port infrastructure as well as skilled local labor force make Wales the ideal region for Ciner to expand,” said Didem Ciner, Member of the Board of Directors of Ciner Group. The production plant will be built in Rassau Industrial Estate in Ebbw Vale on an area of 215,000 square meters. 450 people will be employed during the facility’s construction process, and 600 people will be employed at the new production plant when it becomes operational. The production plant is expected to rank among the most modern facilities in Europe.
