The company, which makes paper straws and other sustainable packaging for the world’s leading quick service restaurants, was severely impacted by the pandemic.


The Ystrad Mynach based business has received £165,500 from the Welsh Government’s ERF, which helped the business continue to operate and ultimately protect its workforce.


Throughout the pandemic the Welsh Government has made £2\.5 billion available to support businesses across Wales, helping to protect in excess of 160,000 jobs that might otherwise have been lost.


Transcend Packaging CEO, Lorenzo Angelucci, said:



> “Like most British businesses, the coronavirus pandemic had a huge impact on our sustainable packaging business; with lockdown forcing restaurants and cafes to shut, large client orders dried up.
> 
> 
> “The funding from the Welsh Government was pivotal in assisting Transcend through these challenging times with reduced orders and income. It also safeguarded the jobs of over 70 employees at our production facility in Ystrad Mynach, Caerphilly.”


The Welsh Government supported the company to help it start up in Wales and create around 102 new jobs after it secured a significant contract to supply paper straws to McDonald’s. Since then it has also started producing a fully\-recyclable and biodegradable U\-bend Industrial paper straw for Ribena and other major brands.


Mr Angelucci added:



> “Support from the Welsh Government has helped Transcend Packaging move to the forefront of the packaging industry, making us Europe’s largest producer of paper straws.
> 
> 
> “Everyone at Transcend appreciates the coordinated effort from the Welsh Government to not only navigate the health situation, but to support Welsh business as we collectively move forward to build a strong and resilient economy.”


At the height of the pandemic, Transcend, with Innovation and R\&D support from SMART Cymru, adapted the way it works to produce a million face shields a week in response to the First Minister’s call for action to support NHS Wales. 


Economy Minister, Vaughan Gething said:



> “Transcend Packaging is an important business in Caerphilly county borough, providing good quality jobs in the local community. I am delighted we were able to provide the business with vital support when it needed it most.
> 
> 
> “Coronavirus has changed everyone’s lives and placed incredibly difficult challenges on our business community. In response we have worked hard to try and protect companies, jobs and livelihoods through an unprecedented package of support. Our Economic Resilience Fund has been a key part of that and I look forward to seeing Transcend Packaging rebound post\-pandemic.
> 
> 
> “I would like to add my sincere thanks for the way it stepped up to boost our efforts to produce vital PPE last year. This helped protect many frontline workers in our health and care services at the height of the pandemic.
> 
> 
> “The business also has sustainability at its heart and its innovation is exactly the sort of business practice we want to see as we rebuild a greener Welsh economy.”

Cafodd y cwmni, sy'n gwneud gwellt papur a deunydd pacio cynaliadwy arall ar gyfer bwytai gwasanaeth cyflym mwyaf blaenllaw'r byd, ei effeithio'n ddifrifol gan y pandemig.


Mae’r busnes o Ystrad Mynach wedi derbyn £165,500 gan ERF Llywodraeth Cymru, a helpodd y busnes i barhau i weithredu ac yn y pen draw i ddiogelu ei weithlu.


Drwy gydol y pandemig mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi sicrhau bod £2\.5 biliwn ar gael i gefnogi busnesau ledled Cymru, gan helpu i ddiogelu dros 160,000 o swyddi a allai fod wedi'u colli fel arall.


Dywedodd Lorenzo Angelucci, Prif Swyddog Gweithredol Transcend Packaging:



> "Fel y rhan fwyaf o fusnesau Prydain, cafodd pandemig y coronafeirws effaith enfawr ar ein busnes pecynnu cynaliadwy; gyda'r cyfyngiadau symud yn gorfodi bwytai a chaffis i gau, roedd yr archebion gan y cleientiaid mawr yn diflannu.
> 
> 
> "Roedd y cyllid gan Lywodraeth Cymru yn ganolog i gynorthwyo Transcend drwy'r cyfnod heriol hwn gyda llai o archebion ac incwm. Roedd hefyd yn diogelu swyddi dros 70 o weithwyr yn ein cyfleuster cynhyrchu yn Ystrad Mynach, Caerffili."


Cefnogodd Llywodraeth Cymru y cwmni i'w helpu i ddechrau busnes yng Nghymru a chreu tua 102 o swyddi newydd ar ôl iddo sicrhau contract sylweddol i gyflenwi gwellt papur i McDonald's. Ers hynny, mae hefyd wedi dechrau cynhyrchu gwellt papur diwydiannol cwbl ailgylchadwy a bioddiraddadwy ar gyfer Ribena a brandiau mawr eraill.


Ychwanegodd Mr Angelucci:



> "Mae cefnogaeth gan Lywodraeth Cymru wedi helpu Transcend Packaging i symud i flaen y gad yn y diwydiant pecynnu, gan ein gwneud ni'n gynhyrchydd gwellt papur mwyaf Ewrop.
> 
> 
> "Mae pawb yn Transcend yn gwerthfawrogi ymdrech gydgysylltiedig Llywodraeth Cymru nid yn unig i lywio'r sefyllfa iechyd, ond i gefnogi busnesau Cymru wrth i ni symud ymlaen gyda'n gilydd i adeiladu economi gref a gwydn."


Pan oedd y pandemig ar ei waethaf, addasodd Transcend, gyda chymorth Arloesi ac Ymchwil a Datblygu gan SMART Cymru, y ffordd yr oedd yn gweithio i gynhyrchu miliwn o amddiffynwyr wyneb yr wythnos mewn ymateb i alwad y Prif Weinidog am weithredu i gefnogi GIG Cymru. 


Dywedodd Gweinidog yr Economi, Vaughan Gething:



> "Mae Transcend Packaging yn fusnes pwysig ym mwrdeistref sirol Caerffili, gan ddarparu swyddi o ansawdd da yn y gymuned leol. Rwy'n falch iawn ein bod wedi gallu rhoi cymorth hanfodol i'r busnes pan oedd ei angen fwyaf.
> 
> 
> "Mae coronafeirws wedi newid bywydau pawb ac wedi gosod heriau anhygoel o anodd ar ein cymuned fusnes. Mewn ymateb, rydym wedi gweithio'n galed i geisio amddiffyn cwmnïau, swyddi a bywoliaethau drwy becyn cymorth digynsail. Mae ein Cronfa Cadernid Economaidd wedi bod yn rhan allweddol o hynny ac edrychaf ymlaen at weld Deunydd Pacio Transcend yn dod yn ôl ar ôl pandemig.

> "Hoffwn ychwanegu fy niolch diffuant am y ffordd y gwnaeth helpu i roi hwb i'n hymdrechion i gynhyrchu cyfarpar diogelu personol hanfodol y llynedd. Helpodd hyn i ddiogelu llawer o weithwyr rheng flaen yn ein gwasanaethau iechyd a gofal ar anterth y pandemig.

> "Mae cynaliadwyedd wrth wraidd y busnes hefyd a'i arloesedd yw'r union fath o arfer busnes rydym am ei weld wrth i ni ailadeiladu economi wyrddach yng Nghymru."
