Tinplate demand saves Corns jobs

摘要

An unexpected rise in demand for tinplate from the UK canmaking industry means that a threat to 290 jobs at the Corus Packaging Plus (CPP) mill in South Wales has been put on hold. rnThe jobs were expected to be lost as part of a restructuring of the CPP businesses in Europe which would cut its capacity by 300,000 tonnes. rn"We see strong demand from the UK food can sector and we want to accommodate this," said Roger Steens of CPP at its headquarters in Umuiden in the Netherlands.
