Nampak Invests R1.6 billion in Beverage Packaging

At its annual general meeting earlier this month Nampak, Africa’s largest packaging company, announced that it is investing R1.6 billion in two of its core businesses which produce bottles and cans for the growing beverage market.

The first project will see the company invest almost R1 billion in an additional furnace at its glass bottle business based at Roodekop, Germiston.

Sales of the additional production have already been contracted to key customers.
