An initial 5,000km² area will be developed for the plant, with an option to expand to 20,000km² based on business growth demands.

The company expects to commence production at the end of next year, with an initial focus on beverage and dairy packaging closures before adding more segments as needed.

“This will be our first plant in the UK, and we are looking forward to working closely with the Rotherham Council as the project proceeds.”

The project is anticipated to cost €20m, which includes installation of the first phase of machinery and the employment of  20 workers.

United Caps CEO Benoit Henckes said: “We chose Rotherham because of its central location along the M1, available technical skilled people and the reasonable cost of land in that area.
