Ardagh invests in Kyabram plant

Ardagh Australia is upgrading and improving manufacturing facilities at its three-piece can plant in Kyabram.

Under the Federal Government’s clean technology investment programme, Ardagh has received a $90,000 grant to help fund a $272,000 project to upgrade welding lines at the facility.

The plan will target significant reductions in carbon emissions and will eventually be rolled out across a number of Australian Ardagh Group manufacturing facilities.

The project is expected to reduce the carbon emissions intensity of Ardagh’s can production line at Kyabram by 66 per cent and will result in savings of over $20,000 in energy costs per year.
