Review at AGIs Swindon plant

AGI Media Packaging Europe is reviewing the balance of capacity between its Swindon plant and AGI Uden in Holland after major client EMI decided to shut its Swindon CD duplication facility.

EMI is to consolidate the two plants within Uden due to overcapacity, and entered a three-month consultation period in March.

AGI chairman Tony Garnish is not yet aware of any dramatic volume changes. It does provide a logistics issue, he said, as we cant simply transport things within Swindon but have to ship them to Holland instead.

AGI Uden has 103 staff and works alongside EMI Uden, while AGIs Swindon set-up employs 82.
