UK sports nutrition company KBF Enterprises has invested over £2 million to expand its Trafford Park, Manchester, site. The investment comprises a £1.75 million factory and the purchase of an additional 10,000-square-foot warehouse to support the company's growth, both domestically and internationally. According to the company, the expansion will allow KBF – which is behind the UK protein bars brand Warrior – to boost its production output by 400%. The new factory, housed in a 55,000-square-foot facility, will enhance production capacity, producing more than 48 million protein bars, 4 million tubs of creatine, pre-workout and protein powder, and handling over 3,000 daily orders. Kieran Fisher, founder of KBF Enterprises, commented: “We are experiencing record-breaking growth at KBF Enterprises and have ambitious plans for the future. The investment into the new factory and warehouse is a fantastic next step for the business, as it provides more space and harnesses the latest technology so we can take our in-house manufacturing facilities to the next level, catering to the increased demand we’re seeing, while also maintaining an all-important competitive price point." “We want to ensure we are able to continue to create new quality protein products that are not only affordable but taste good and are nutritious. The new factory will hold us in good stead to meet these demands and expand our business further by increasing our output and creating new opportunities for future developments and growth."
