Dairygold Food Ingredients plans to invest £4.5 million into its UK production site to boost efficiency and new product development.
The investment will be used to enhance its Leeds facility in Swillington.
As part of the investment, Dairygold Food Ingredients will begin a four-phase build in February 2020 to boost productivity, increase capacity and improve office workspace.
The company also intends to commission new state-of-the-art production equipment to support the implementation of a progressive NPD agenda.
General manager of DFI Leeds, Matt Lawton, said: “This is a huge step forward for our Leeds site and our UK business in general, and clearly demonstrates the confidence that our parent company Dairygold Co-Operative Society has in our future. This investment will increase output, improve efficiency for our existing customers, and generate significant new opportunities.
“We are confident that the scale and scope of this investment will be recognised by our customers, suppliers and colleagues. DFI UK is determined to reinforce our leading market position and continue building on our success as a leading British manufacturer and supplier of cultured dairy products.”
