Futura Foods Wales site open
The company said the site is well on track to meet its plans to expand flexible added value processing capacity in the UK and support its customers to meet increased consumer demand during the coronavirus crisis.
Managing director of Futura Foods UK Ltd, Hans Christiansen, said, “Futura Foods is delighted to announce that our ‘state of the art’ added value cheese cutting and packing site in Minffordd, North Wales, has been independently audited this week and will be awarded BRC AA accreditation. I am immensely proud of the team who have worked extremely hard at this challenging time to achieve this in a short space of time.
“Customer response to our plans has been extremely positive, we are delighted with the feedback and with the commitment and enthusiasm shown by our team in North Wales. We are fully operational and increasing production in line with our customer needs both here In the UK and in export markets, through our parent company - Nordex Food Group.”
Christiansen said the focus is on providing a flexible site to process UK and continental cheese.
“Increasing capacity and supporting innovation are key to our future plans. The new UK site will complement our existing strength in supplying an extensive range of continental dairy products including Feta, Halloumi and Italian cheeses and extend our product offer, as we now can format Cheddar, Mozzarella and UK territorials as well.”
He added the company will be supporting the local economy with new employment opportunities as the business develops.
