That the Parliament welcomes the announcement of a £150 million investment by O-I Glass in its Alloa facility; understands that the investment includes over £100 million to rebuild and modernise one of the site’s existing furnaces with state-of-the-art, low-carbon technology, additional investment in a second new furnace currently under construction and £50 million for a new oxygen production facility adjacent to the site; notes that the Alloa site was first established in 1750 and is one of Scotland’s longest-running industrial facilities; recognises that this significant investment will help to secure over 500 jobs and ensure that Clackmannanshire remains a key centre for Scotland's manufacturing and innovation; further recognises that O-I’s continued presence in the town reflects the skill and dedication of the area's workforce, which has sustained glass production in Alloa for generations; believes that this investment supports Scotland’s green industrial transition by combining the area’s proud industrial heritage with modern, sustainable technology; commends O-I Glass for its long-standing contribution to employment in the Alloa area and its commitment to sustainability and community prosperity, and wishes the company every success as it continues to invest in Clackmannanshire's long-term future.
