The company has adopted a brand new corporate identity in what the company describes as ‘a more feminine pink’.
Glendale chairman, John Mortimer, said: “This massive investment underlines our commitment to being among the best in the business. This is the biggest investment in Glendale’s history and it sets us up to be a very flexible, high-quality component producer.
“Our increased capacity will enable us to expand our facilities for cooked sausages, burgers, dumplings, stuffings, pizza toppings and meatballs. We offer a complete service for any company looking for cooked meal components and can take a brief through from concept to launch, working closely with the customer’s buying and development teams.”
The capital investment centres on a new multi-zone moving belt oven, which provides higher productivity due to faster cooking times over a multiplicity of products, and an in-line spiral freezer, giving a choice of refrigerant airflow to improve yield, flavour and texture. Together, this high-end food processing technology gives Glendale upwards of 60% more capacity than its old cooking line.
The company has secured £100,000 in energy efficiency financing from the Carbon Trust for implementing extensive energy saving measures to reduce its carbon footprint.
