Call for update on Welsh Government action regarding closure of REHAU’s Anglesey factory.

North Wales Assembly Member Mark Isherwood has questioned the Economy Minister this week over the closure of REHAU’s Anglesey factory.  

Global firm REHAU Group had been in Amlwch for more than 40 years before announcing in January that it may have to close, as the market for PVC Edgeband, the facility’s primary manufacturing focus, has gone into significant decline.
