Growing demand for Guinness and its sister beers across the world will see its parent company make a £40.5 million investment in its canning and bottling plants in both Northern Ireland and Cheshire.
Diageo said its £24.5M spend at its Belfast site will be used to convert a warehouse to a new packaging line capable of producing 72,000 cans of Guinness an hour.
Meanwhile, the remainder will be invested at its Runcorn base to upgrade its bottling line and expand warehousing capacity.
