Recorp Aluminium, New Zealand's most progressive can-manufacturing company founded and funded by the country's brightest beverage container specialists, is on the brink of launching its $100 million-plus facility into operation in South Auckland.
The founder and chairman of the company, former Air New Zealand chief executive Rob Fyfe, expressed his positive views about the project saying that it should break even in its second year of operation.
The new can manufacturing plant, equipped with cutting-edge technology, is poised to revolutionise New Zealand's beverage packaging industry. It is scheduled to commence operations in early September 2024, albeit five months behind schedule due to a site change.
Recorp Aluminium was founded to revolutionise New Zealand's packaging industry for businesses and consumers alike. Leveraging state-of-the-art technology, Recorp has attained expertise in manufacturing flexible, responsive aluminium cans to complement a wider choice of consumers for beverage packaging.
Following this news comes an announcement of the appointment of Bruce Parton as an inaugural CEO. Bruce Parton once worked with Rob Fyfe in Air New Zealand.
Fyfe said, "Having worked with Bruce personally, I know the value he will bring to the business, and he has hit the ground running since he took up the role last month."
In addition to Parton, Recorp's leadership team comprises Australasia's leading beverage container specialists, including General Manager Steve Lacey and Plant Manager Grant Nicholson.
