A European company which prints labelling for drink cans is creating 40 jobs in the West Midlands by launching a new base in the region.
NOMOQ, which has operations in Switzerland and Germany, announced earlier this year that it was eyeing the region for a new operation and has now confirmed it is opening in Leamington Spa.
Recruitment has already started for its first-ever º£½ÇÊÓÆµ facility which will produce decorated cans in small batch sizes for the º£½ÇÊÓÆµ beverage market.
NOMOQ, which stands for 'no minimum order quantity', uses technology which adds a brand's design to an aluminium can without using labels and plastic sleeves, meaning they are fully recyclable.
