Smurfit Kappa will invest Euro 54 million to double the capacity of its Ibi Bag-in-Box plant in Alicante, Spain.
Smurfit Kappa’s latest investment is set to strengthen the sustainability of both the plant’s operations and its product portfolio, with enhanced waste management systems and significant savings in energy consumption. Bag-in-Box Ibi has got a strong track record when it comes to recycling with several state-of-the-art systems to identify and separate by-products.
Pascual Martínez, General Manager of the Smurfit Kappa Ibi plant, added: “We are proud to be taking Ibi to the next level through this investment and creating a further 200 jobs for the local economy. We have a talented and very skilled team here that can solve even the most complex challenge. I am excited about embarking on the next chapter for Ibi.”
Bag-in-Box Ibi creates a broad range of products for wine, dairy products, liquid eggs, cooking oils and water. Smurfit Kappa is the No.1 Bag-in-Box provider in Europe.
