Ronald Kers, attended the Semex dairy conference in Glasgow and revealed that the new plant in Shropshire (UK) would have a manufacturing capacity of 45,000 tonnes of butter, utilising up to 90,000 tonnes of cream a year.
According to the reports, Kers said the investment in the butter plant, together with the recent takeover of a business producing added-value desserts, would help Müller Wiseman maintain its position at the top of the milk price league.
He admitted concern about milk supplies in the light of the exodus of producers from the dairy industry and last year’s adverse weather, and plans to launch a recruitment drive in the spring to attract producers.
