Delta Print To Create 100 New Manufacturing Jobs
First Minister, the Rt. Hon. Peter D. Robinson MLA, and the deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness MLA have announced Delta Print & Packaging Ltd is investing more than £40m to expand its operation and create 100 new manufacturing jobs in west Belfast.
Based at Kennedy Way, Delta designs and manufactures printed carton packaging primarily for the retail food, consumer electronics, household goods, dairy, pharmaceutical and food service sectors. Delta has already increased staff from 169 to 200 recently in preparation for the investment. Staff levels will then rise to 269.
Mr Robinson said: "Today's £40million investment by Delta Print & Packaging creating 100 new jobs is good news for the local economy and reinforces the company's 30 year commitment to invest and re-invest in Belfast.
"Delta has developed strong, long-term relationships with a number of blue-chip companies and its consistent high volume production has enabled the company to substantially increase its turnover across Europe and the US."
Mr McGuinness added: "I welcome this £40million investment by Delta Print & Packaging creating 100 jobs.
"This is a significant boost for our local manufacturing sector and for west Belfast. Delta Print & Packaging generate annual wages and salaries of £8million a year to the local economy and this announcement is good news for existing and potential employees and other local businesses.
"Delta is a fantastic example of a local company using the skills and work ethic of local people to compete globally. With overseas production operations through joint ventures in India and China Delta could have relocated its entire operation overseas.
"The decision to invest in the plant and the people at Kennedy Way maintains its long term commitment to west Belfast."
