Kepak Merthyr to boost employment at Welsh plant
Kepak Merthyr has underlined its commitment to its 850-strong workforce in Wales with a £16 million investment programme for 2023, according to the meat processing company.
Kepak has highlighted that its plant in Merthyr Tydfil contributes over £200 million each year to the local economy in wages and livestock purchase.
During a visit by Vaughan Gething, Minister for the Economy of Wales, the company confirmed its plans to create another 150 jobs and outlined how this underlines its commitment to “future growth alongside strengthening its partnerships with local suppliers”.
According to Kepak Merthy’s general manager, Chris Jones, said the minister’s visit gave the company an opportunity to showcase its world-class facilities.
Jones said the company had invested more than £30 million in modernising its flagship site since it was acquired five years ago.
