NAMPAK WIEGAND GLASS INVESTS R500m IN GLASS BOTTLE MANUFACTURING                
Nampak Wiegand Glass is to invest almost R500 million in rebuilding and         
expanding one of its furnaces at its glass bottle manufacturing facility at     
Roodekop, Alberton.                                                             
Furnace 2 which is nearing the end of its useful life will be rebuilt at a      
larger capacity and at the same time improved bottle-forming equipment will be  
installed. This will enable Nampak Wiegand Glass to meet customer demand and    
enter new markets from which it was previously excluded.                        
Commissioning is planned for the first quarter of 2012.                         
Andrew Marshall, Nampak CEO said "Nampak Wiegand Glass is part of Nampak`s core 
metals and glass segment and this investment strengthens our position as a      
reliable supplier to the growing glass packaging market."
