UK corrugated cardboard producer Ablebox has unveiled plans to create some 50 new jobs at its new factory in Hen-stridge.

 

“Our manufacturing and technical capability has developed signifi-cantly in recent years,” said Jack Lloyd, the managing director of Ablebox, as quoted by local news site Somersetlive.co.uk.

 

The producer invested some £7 million (US$9 million) in establishing a new production facility.

 

A spokesperson for Ablebox said that the factory “incorporates a high-speed, cutting-edge corrugator, which once fully operational will produce in excess of 100 million square metres of corrugated card-board per year”.
