Food packaging company Seda UK has announced plans to open a new plant, creating 190 new jobs in south Wales.
The new plant at Hawtin Park, near Blackwood, Caerphilly, has been part-funded by a regional selective assistance grant from the Welsh Assembly Government.
Seda UK, part of the Italian-owned Seda International Packaging Group, is the largest food packaging business in the UK. The Seda group has factories in Italy, Germany, Portugal, Belgium, Spain and England to supply customers who include Unilever, Nestle, Coca-Cola and McDonald's.
Antonio D'Amato, president of Seda International said in a statement: "The decision to invest in the South Wales operation is a fantastic opportunity for us all and will give us the platform to develop our European and international business."
Andrew Davies, Welsh minister for economic development and transport commented: "This investment and the creation of 190 new manufacturing jobs is further excellent news for the manufacturing sector in Wales and a demonstration of the strong confidence in the Welsh economy."
A recruitment drive will begin immediately for new staff for the Caerphilly operation, led by Acorn, Wales' largest independent recruitment and training specialist.
