Ballyrashane employs 150 people in processing milk, butter, buttermilk and cheese. The investment has been supported by Invest Northern Ireland, with part funding from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
Nigel Kemps, Ballyrashane GM, said: “The R&D project, which was planned from 2009, has enabled us to achieve the development of a new spreadable butter without the vegetable oils used by some other manufacturers. We’ve achieved this through extensive product development work on processing techniques and the introduction of new storage technology for cream.”
