The Welsh Government has sold a 30-acre site in Port Talbot to a manufacturer for the development of a new factory. Glass Systems Limited has bought the government-owned post-industrial land, located on Baglan Industrial Estate within the Port Talbot Enterprise Zone for the development of a new glass processing facility.
The glass manufacturing company, which currently operates at a number of sites across south Wales, said the new development will safeguard 500 jobs in the area as well as create 100 more. The site is bound by Baglan Way on its north-eastern and eastern boundaries, Moor Road on its north-western and western boundaries, and the Warburtons Factory on its southern boundary.
The industrial unit would include a mezzanine office measuring 1,355 sqm used for processing glass that is manufactured off-site. A 129-space car park for staff and deliveries is also being proposed, as well as priority access for pedestrians and cyclists.
