Willowbrook Foods invests for growth in Britain and Ireland
Willowbrook Foods, the Northern Ireland specialist in salads, prepared vegetables and convenience meals, has opened a new £5.5m factory extension.
The 44,000sq ft extension is enabling the company, based on a family farm at Killinchy in County Down, to meet the growing demand in Great Britain and Ireland from major retailers and wholesalers for its developing range of products.
Willowbrook managing director, John McCann, commenting on the company’s investment, said: “This factory more than doubles our production capacity and is enabling us to meet the growing demand from key customers for our existing range of products.
“We made the investment to carry forward the success we have achieved in selling 85% of our products to customers outside Northern Ireland.
“In addition, the investment is providing scope for new products being developed by staff in our new Food Innovation Centre in liaison with both existing and potential customers in Great Britain and the Republic of Ireland.
“Since opening in 1967, innovation has always been at the centre of our business. We have focused resourced on understanding of the needs of our customers and also the overall market, developing both existing and new products to exceed the needs of all our customers.”
