Whisky bottle top firm begins work on £36 million Lanarkshire factory

A £36m 'superfactory' should help secure the Scottish future of a company crucial to the whisky industry.

The investment includes a £3.3m grant from Scottish Enterprise and will see Guala Closures continue its operations, after planning was approved for a new facility in Gartcosh, Lanarkshire.

The announcement safeguards the jobs of more than 400 employees currently at the company’s existing sites in Bridge of Allan in Stirlingshire, and two sites at Kirkintilloch in East Dunbartonshire, which will now be merged at the new factory.
