KeyKeg/UniKeg has opened its newest manufacturing facility in Guadalajara, Spain, enabling it to meet growing demand for the products in the region.

The facility leverages Lanfranchi blow moulding technology and equipment, as well as the latest automation and robotics technology.

The site supports the large customer base of KeyKeg and UniKeg in Spain, as well as the other parts of Southern and Central Europe.

Anita Veenendaal, chief executive officer, said: “We see service as a crucial element of our success. We aim to provide the best service, keeping stock as close to our customers as possible. The new location and its extra capacity will further improve this service and reduce environmental footprint significantly.”

Annemieke Hartman, chief commercial officer, added: “In addition to producing the iconic KeyKeg in Spain, we launch this production facility with the introduction of the UniKeg A to the global market. 

“The UniKeg A [also identified as the German Slider] has been missing from our UniKeg Sankey S & D range of products. 

“Large volume customers are keenly awaiting its arrival in the market.  To be able to facilitate this from our new Spanish home is a great result for producers across Europe.”
