Rob Fyfe, former Air New Zealand boss and current chair of Recorp, has announced his latest investment- a can manufacturing plant operating out of South Auckland.
This plant is a $100 million dollar investment, and is set to make 500 million cans a year, as well as smelting them down on site eventually.
Rob Fyfe says that another can manufacturing plant in the country is a necessary investment, because there is a shortage of can manufacturing plants in New Zealand, and it's becoming harder to keep up with demand.
"We're actually importing a couple hundred million cans a year from Australia, flew in from the Tasman, because we can't produce enough. And I've been talking to a number of drinks manufacturers out there who would love to swap out their current plastic bottle lines."
