The distinctive Capri Sun 200ml silver squeezy pouches are a winner with the public, but pose quite a challenge on the production line: Rietschle Thomas was responsible for the vacuum system
"It will provide all of our customers with a better resource and communications hub.
That will shorten the supply chain and offer a more rapid response, both to OEM designers and production facilities, as well as to our pump end users".
Jones said that over 40 staff would be based at the new head office in Alton by the end of 2004.
"It's a purpose-built facility that will also offer central pump and spares warehousing, refurbishment and repair facilities".
Existing Rietschle Thomas buildings in Alton and in New Hythe (Kent) will be closed once the new facility is operational.
A new dedicated service centre will be opened in 2004, close to New Hythe, to increase service coverage in the south of England.
The existing Rietschle Thomas UK service centres in Cumbernauld, Tewkesbury, and Leeds will also be upgraded during 2004.
