By GlobalData“This key investment will also bring prestige to our territory. The new headquarters will be characterised by high sustainability thanks to the design by Open Project and the construction by Cefla, a solid business well known by our overseas partners that has brought in Cti and Cims as major sub-contractors.
“Only 500m separate us from our new home, but there’s still some way to go. Yet we’ve always been thrilled by challenges and we hope we can meet up again a few months from now to celebrate the operational start-up of our new headquarters.”
The company commenced construction of the plant in March this year, with manufacturing machines expected to be installed by February 2020.
TeaPak has predicted that the facility will be capable of doubling the current production capacity of the company, which exceeded 40 million units last year, containing 578 million teabags. Production will be quadrupled once the new site is fully operational.
