Greencroft Bottling is one of the largest contract filling companies in the UK. We are now embarking on ambitious plans to develop a purpose-built 200,000 ft2 (18,580m2) bottling facility at our main site in County Durham. When completed Greencroft Two will be the most modern and environmentally sustainable wine bottling facility in the world, housing new filling lines - including canning and sparkling - and increasing capacity to 400 million litres per year

Currently we are capable of filling up to 90,000 bottles and boxes of wine per hour - the equivalent of up to 200 million litres per year. Working with some of the world's leading wine companies, we pride ourselves on our outstanding quality and attention to detail with a dedicated Quality Assurance team and, as such, are BRC Grade AA+ rated

Our high test production lines enable us to pack a range of products in a variety of formats, including 187ml glass and PET, 37.5cl, 50cl, 70cl, 75cl, 1l and 1.5l. We can aso fill 2.25 litre, 3 litre and 18 litre bag-in-box and both keg and pouches. We have installed the UK's first wine canning line capable of filling still and sparking wine and RTDs in 187ml, 200ml and 250ml slim line can formats
