Cyhoeddodd Ken Skates, Ysgrifennydd yr Economi, bod Hotpack Ltd eisoes wedi prynu eiddo a thir ar Ystad Ddiwydiannol Llai yn Wrecsam, gyda’r bwriad o greu 250 o swyddi gweithgynhyrchu a swyddi warws ar y safle dros y tair i bum mlynedd nesaf.   


Ar ôl 22 o flynyddoedd o ehangu ers ei sefydlu yn y Dwyrain Canol, roedd tîm rheoli Hotpack yn chwilio am leoliad gweithgynhyrchu addas yn Ewrop. Penderfynodd y cwmni symud i’r Gogledd ar ôl derbyn cymorth a chyngor gan Lywodraeth Cymru dros nifer o fisoedd, yn ogystal â benthyciad o £1\.5 miliwn drwy Cyllid Cymru, sydd bellach yn fanc datblygu cyntaf y DU. 

  


Y benthyciad hwn yw’r cyntaf yn y Gogledd o Gronfa Buddsoddi Hyblyg Cymru, dan nawdd Llywodraeth Cymru, cronfa sy’n werth £100 miliwn.

  


Mae’r cwmni wedi canmol y cymorth a gafodd gan Lywodraeth Cymru a Cyllid Cymru a’i helpodd i ddewis safle yng Nghymru yn wyneb cystadlu cryf gan Slofacia a gwledydd eraill Ewrop. 

  


Disgwylir i safle Hotpack yn y Gogledd ddenu buddsoddiad gwerth £50 miliwn i’r rhanbarth. 

  


Dywedodd Ysgrifennydd yr Economi, Ken Skates: 


> “Dw i wrth fy modd bod Hotpack Ltd wedi penderfynu symud i Wrecsam yn dilyn cyfnod o gydweithio â Llywodraeth Cymru a chael £1\.5 miliwn drwy’r banc datblygu. 
> 
> “Gyda’i gynllun busnes sy’n cynnwys creu 250 o swyddi dros y 3 blynedd nesaf, dw i’n hyderus y bydd Hotpack yn dod â manteision go iawn i’r economi a chymuned leol, a dw i’n edrych ymlaen at ymweld â’r cyfleuster newydd ar ôl iddo agor.

Fis diwethaf, roeddwn yn falch o gael lansio Banc Datblygu Cymru, a fydd yn rhoi mantais inni wrth gystadlu yn y DU. O’i herwydd, dw i’n hyderus y byddwn ni’n fwy llwyddiannus byth o ran creu swyddi yng nghymunedau ledled Cymru.

  


Dywedodd Mr Abdul Jebbar, Cyfarwyddwr byd\-eang Hotpack Packaging:

Mae tîm cymorth busnes Llywodraeth Cymru wedi cydweithio â ni yn ystod ein hymweliadau ymchwil. Nawr ein bod wedi prynu’r safle, rydyn ni wedi dechrau’r gwaith datblygu, ac rydyn ni’n edrych ymlaen at gael perthynas hir a llewyrchus â phobl a busnesau Cymru.”

Dywedodd Rhodri Evans, Rheolwr Rhanbarthol y Gogledd, Banc Datblygu Cymru:

Economy Secretary, Ken Skates has announced that Hotpack Ltd has completed on the purchase of property and land at the Llay Industrial Estate in Wrexham with a view to creating 250 manufacturing and warehouse jobs on the site over the next 3 to 5years. 


After 22 years of expansion in the middle east, the Hotpack management team had been looking for a suitable location to manufacture in Europe. The company’s decision to locate to North Wales follows months of support and advice from the Welsh Government as well as a £1\.5m loan provided through the Development Bank. The loan is the first in North Wales to come from the Welsh Government’s £100 million Wales Flexible Investment Fund.


The company has praised the support it received from Welsh Government and the Development Bank which helped it to select Wales as a base ahead of stiff competition from Slovakia and other European countries. 


Hotpack’s location in North Wales is expected to bring £50m of inward investment to the region. 


Economy Secretary, Ken Skates said:

> “This is an example of exactly what can be achieved when businesses are given access to the right advice support. Last month I was pleased to launch the Development Bank of Wales, which will provide us with a competitive edge over the rest of the UK.   I am confident this will ensure we enjoy even more success in boosting job opportunities in communities right across Wales.”
