The £40-million Can-Pack UK factory, on the site of the town's former MFI plant, will begin operating to produce up to 90-million cans a month.

Initially, the Polish-owned firm of Can-Pack UK, will operate a single line around the clock on the 36,000 square metre site on the Skippingdale Industrial Estate.

Well... high time for Polish investments abroad. Even in spite of a crisis(?).

It gives me a lump in my throat, a feeling of pride to know that the next time I open a can of dog food, I could be peeling the lid off the fruit of Polish investment.

Stop living like a student and buy some proper food ;-)

I've got mixed feelings on this factory opening. It's great of course that something is being opened rather than closed down, but I can almost hear the locals getting ready to say: "Nah, you have to speak Polish if you wanna work there mate!"

Whether that's true or not, the owners will face an up-hill battle convincing some people otherwise.

Why wasn't it opened in Poland ?

No, thanks. I'm not that desperate.
