* Welsh Government awards £566,000 from the Economy Futures Fund to Airflo Fishing Products Ltd.
* Brecon\-based firm are the industry's leading manufacturer of PVC\-free speciality fishing lines.
* The investment secures 44 jobs and creates a further 21, paving the way for a quadrupling of exports to North America.


The Welsh Government is making a £566,000 investment to support specialist fishing line manufacturer Airflo to grow and ensure the future viability of the plant in Brecon, creating 21 and safeguarding a further 44 jobs, Economy Minister Vaughan Gething has announced today.


Based out of a factory on the Ffrwdgrech Industrial Estate in Brecon and owned by US\-based Mayfly Group, Airflo has become a leading Welsh exporting success story, with pre\-season orders forecasting a quadrupling of business to North America. The Welsh Government investment will also enable the company to build on its export growth in North America and expand into new markets, such as Japan, New Zealand and South Africa.


The investment from the Welsh Government’s Economy Futures Fund will allow Airflo to introduce a new product to market that does not currently exist. The new equipment will replace ageing equipment and result in improved productivity, ensuring that jobs remain in Wales and a continuation of research and development at Brecon. It follows significant investment of nearly £2 million by the business in its plant in Brecon since 2020\.


For over 70 years, most fly\-fishing lines have been made from PVC (polyvinyl chloride), a naturally rigid plastic. However, PVC lines begin to break down immediately after manufacturing. As there is no real way to safely recycle a PVC line, it leads to releasing harmful plasticisers into the environment, particularly affecting the survival and biomass of soil organisms.


The project aligns with the Welsh Government’s Programme for Government commitment to build an economy based on the principles of fair work, sustainability and the industries and services of the future. It also has a strong alignment with a number of the Welsh Government’s Economic Action Plan goals, namely:


* supporting businesses to drive prosperity
* tackling regional inequality and promoting fair work
* drive sustainable growth and combat climate change.


Announcing the award, Economy Minister Vaughan Gething said:



> “I’m delighted to announce this major investment to support specialist manufacturing in Powys.
> 
> 
> “Airflo is a unique company with an innovative product with worldwide sales potential. So, this project will not only help boost the local economy in Brecon, providing a predominantly rural area with quality employment opportunities with very competitive salaries, but it will also result in the development of a new product that will help protect the environment.
> 
> 
> “The Welsh Government is committed to protecting our environment and this investment aligns with our long\-term ambitions of phasing out unnecessary, single\-use products, especially plastic, and sending zero plastic to landfill.”


Welcoming the support from the Welsh Government, Director of Finance and HR at Airflo, Sherrie Woolf said:



> "We are thrilled that the Welsh Government is supporting our business growth.  We have massive opportunities to grow our exports and at the moment we can't meet demand!
> 
> 
> “This loan will assist us in adding substantial production equipment and add a further 21 full time roles in the company. It's great that Wales is open for business!"


The Welsh Government’s flagship Economic Contract prioritises the social and environmental needs of Wales whilst building a more resilient and prosperous wellbeing economy.


An economic contract is already in place between Airflo and the Welsh Government, and this new investment will lead to a new, enhanced contract within 12 months of receipt of the award.

* Llywodraeth Cymru’n neilltuo £566,000 o Gronfa Dyfodol yr Economi i Airflo Fishing Products Ltd.
* Y cwmni o Aberhonddu yw prif gynhyrchydd y diwydiant o leiniau pysgota arbenigol di\-PVC
* Mae’r buddsoddiad yn diogelu 44 ac yn creu 21 o swyddi, gan baratoi’r ffordd ar gyfer allforio pedair gwaith yn fwy o gynnyrch i Ogledd America


Mae Llywodraeth Cymru’n buddsoddi £566,000 i helpu Airflo, cwmni cynhyrchu leiniau pysgota arbenigol, i dyfu a sicrhau llewyrch y ffatri yn Aberhonddu at y dyfodol, gan greu 21 a diogelu 44 o swyddi, cyhoeddodd Gweinidog yr Economi, Vaughan Gething.


Yn eu ffatri yn Ystâd Ddiwydiannol Ffrwdgrech yn Aberhonddu sy’n eiddo i gwmni Mayfly Group o’r Unol Daleithiau, mae Airflo wedi tyfu’n llwyddiant allforio yng Nghymru. Mae’r archebion cyn dechrau’r tymor yn awgrymu bedair gwaith yn fwy o fusnes â Gogledd America. Bydd buddsoddiad Llywodraeth Cymru yn y cwmni nid yn unig yn cynyddu ei allforion i Ogledd America ond yn ei helpu hefyd i fentro i farchnadoedd newydd fel Japan, Seland Newydd a De Affrica.


Bydd buddsoddiad Cronfa Dyfodol yr Economi yn golygu y bydd Airflo’n gallu dod â chynnyrch newydd i’r farchnad. Bydd yr offer newydd yn cymryd lle’r hen gynnyrch gan gynyddu cynhyrchiant a sicrhau bod swyddi’n aros yng Nghymru a bod ymchwil a datblygu’n parhau yn Aberhonddu.  Mae’n dilyn buddsoddiad sylweddol o bron £2 miliwn gan y busnes yn ei offer yn Aberhonddu ers 2020\.


Am ragor na 70 o flynyddoedd, mae’r rhan fwyaf o leiniau genweirio wedi’u gwneud o PVC (polyvinyl chloride), plastig sy’n naturiol o anystwyth. Mae leiniau PVC yn dechrau dadelfennu’n syth ar ôl eu cynhyrchu.  Gan nad oes ffordd ddiogel o ailgylchu PVC, mae hynny’n arwain at ollwng plastig yn yr amgylchedd, gan effeithio’n arbennig ar fiomas organeddau pridd a’u gallu i oroesi.


Mae’r prosiect yn gyson â’r ymrwymiad yn Rhaglen Lywodraethu Llywodraeth Cymru i adeiladu economi sy’n seiliedig ar egwyddorion gwaith teg, cynaliadwyedd a diwydiannau a gwasanaethau’r dyfodol. Mae’n cyd\-fynd hefyd â nifer o amcanion Cynllun Gweithredu ar yr Economi Llywodraeth Cymru, gan gynnwys:


* cefnogi busnesau i sbarduno ffyniant
* mynd i’r afael ag anghydraddoldebau rhanbarthol a hyrwyddo gwaith teg
* sbarduno twf cynaliadwy a milwrio yn erbyn y newid yn yr hinsawdd.


Wrth gyhoeddi’r dyfarniad, dywedodd Gweinidog yr Economi, Vaughan Gething:



> “Mae’n bleser gen i gyhoeddi’r buddsoddiad sylweddol hwn i gefnogi diwydiant arbenigol ym Mhowys.
> 
> 
> “Mae Airflo yn gwmni unigryw sy’n cynhyrchu cynnyrch arloesol sydd â’r potensial ar gyfer ei werthu ledled y byd.  Bydd y prosiect hwn felly yn hwb i’r economi leol yn Aberhonddu, gan ddod â chyfleoedd gwaith o ansawdd a chyflogau cystadleuol iawn i ardal wledig. Yn ogystal â hynny, bydd yn arwain at ddatblygu cynnyrch newydd fydd yn helpu i ddiogelu’r amgylchedd.
> 
> 
> “Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi ymrwymo i ddiogelu’r amgylchedd ac mae’r buddsoddiad hwn yn cyd\-fynd â’r amcan tymor hir o roi’r gorau fesul cam ar ddefnyddio cynnyrch untro diangen, yn enwedig plastig, a rhoi’r gorau’n llwyr i anfon plastig i safleoedd tirlenwi.


Wrth groesawu cefnogaeth Llywodraeth Cymru, dywedodd Cyfarwyddwr Cyllid ac Adnoddau Dynol Airflo, Sherrie Woolf:



> "Rydym wrth ein boddau bod Llywodraeth Cymru’n helpu’n busnes i dyfu.  Mae gennym gyfleoedd anferth i gynyddu’n hallforion ac ar y funud, dydyn ni ddim yn gallu cwrdd â’r galw!
> 
> 
> “Bydd y benthyciad hwn yn ein helpu i ychwanegu offer cynhyrchu sylweddol a chreu 21 o swyddi amser llawn newydd yn y cwmni. Mae’n wych bod Cymru’n agored i fusnes!”


Mae Contract Economaidd Llywodraeth Cymru’n rhoi blaenoriaeth i anghenion cymdeithasol ac amgylcheddol Cymru gan ddatblygu yr un pryd economi lesiant wytnach a mwy ffyniannus.


Mae contract economaidd eisoes wedi’i lofnodi rhwng Airflo a Llywodraeth Cymru a bydd y buddsoddiad newydd hwn yn arwain at gontract newydd gwell cyn pen 12 mis ar ôl derbyn y cyllid.
