EcoKeg raises £170k to expand its recyclable keg manufacturing operations
The funding was provided by the Welsh Government, UK Steel Enterprise and Finance Wales.
EcoKeg manufactures recyclable plastic beer kegs designed to eliminate return transportation and cleaning costs for brewers.
EcoKeg has secured a £170k funding package from the Welsh Government, UK Steel Enterprise and Finance Wales to support its ongoing expansion plans.
The Bridgend-based manufacturer supplies recyclable plastic kegs to more than 150 customers across the UK and internationally, helping breweries avoid traditional steel keg maintenance and return costs.
The company will use the capital to manufacture specialist components onsite to lower outsourcing expenses, develop new slim-line product lines for various beverages, and create two new jobs.
From the founder
"One-way-keg technology is increasingly popular and a wealth of potential new export opportunities is opening up. EcoKeg has a strong market position and with the funding we’ve received from the Welsh Government, UK Steel Enterprise and Finance Wales we can implement our growth plan."
