Bristol packaging company to relocate to new site after more than 100 years

A Bristol company that manufactures packaging for some of the world’s largest drink brands is relocating to the north of the city after more than a century at the same site. Graphic Packaging International, which is headquartered in Atlanta in the US and operates globally, is moving from Filwood Road in Fishponds to a vast logistics building in Yate, it has announced.

According to the firm, the relocation later this year will allow it to retain its current workforce and make a "significant investment" in new plant and machinery, as well as creating around 90 new jobs.

The company has agreed a deal with logistics real estate firm Mileway for a newly refurbished 255,686 sq ft distribution warehouse - called Titan - on Armstrong Way.
