Huhtamaki invests in a new manufacturing facility in Hämeenlinna, Finland
Huhtamaki is investing app. EUR 11 million to have a new manufacturing facility
built in Hämeenlinna, Finland. Manufacturing operations will be transferred from
the current facility that has been built in the 60's to a new, modern facility.
Construction work is planned to begin during spring 2018 and the new facility is
expected to begin operations in spring 2019. The majority of the investment
takes place during 2018.
"Today's busy on-the-go lifestyle increases demand for takeaway foods and
drinks. This creates growth opportunities for us, and with the investment we are
better able to capture those," says Maisa Katila, General Manager for Huhtamaki
Foodservice Nordics.
As part of the investment the Hämeenlinna unit's machine base will also be
partially renewed and automation will be increased. Competitiveness will also be
improved by designing the new facility according to Lean manufacturing
principles and improving the flow of goods and minimizing unnecessary traffic
within production. The modernization of the manufacturing facility will also
improve workplace safety and ergonomics.
"Hämeenlinna is a good location for our manufacturing unit. We have skilled and
experienced employees here and we source our main raw material from nearby. With
the new facility we can serve our customers in the Nordic and Baltic countries
even better," says General Manager Katila.
