Mayor welcomes Dulux's $28m investment in Hutt City
Mayor David Ogden today welcomed paint manufacturer Dulux's announcement that it plans to invest $28m modernising its factory in Hutt City.
"Dulux has been part of our community for 70 years and a significant employer of local people," he said.
"The decision of Dulux to reinvest in Hutt City strengthens our reputation for manufacturing and confirms this is a great place to invest.
"Especially in these challenging economic times, this, along with other examples such as Flight Group moving to the old Griffins site, inspires confidence that our city has a positive future.
