More than 100 new jobs are being created in Wirral following a multi-million pound investment by a major manufacturer.
The jobs will focus on developing sustainable plastic packaging for Albéa Creative UK. The company, a joint venture between international businesses Creative Group and Albéa Group, has taken a 130,000 sq ft facility in Bromborough.
The significant investment is supported by Wirral Council, Growth Platform, local investor Alliance Fund Managers, Liverpool City Region Combined Authority and the Department for International Trade. The joint venture brings world-first innovations in plastics recycling, with the ultimate aim of eliminating non-recycled plastics from consumer products found on supermarket shelves and in our homes.

This investment was identified in 2018 when representatives from Wirral Council, working with the Liverpool City Region Investment Service, visited India as part of a programme of targeted investment meetings. The project is supported by a £1m loan from the Flexible Growth Fund, which was established in January 2020 as part of Metro Mayor Steve Rotheram's £75m Business Growth Package.
