UK Dairy Producer Expands Capacity

UK food company Dairygold is creating a dedicated production line for its Pumpable Soft Cheese as well as a 7kg stand alone filling line and cream storage tanks at its Leeds Dan Dairies site.

Dairygold says it will also purchase new production machinery and upgrade robotic elements of its production lines to increase capacity at the site.

The company is to spend £250,000 on the works, which are part of ongoing improvements to Dairygold’s production line, according to Dairygold sales and marketing director Terry Cunningham.

“The investment we have made at the Dan Dairies site is allowing us not to only maintain and build on our award-winning soft cheese offering but will significantly increase the capacity of our production facility,” Cunningham said.

“The new investment sees the Dan Dairies site extending its production hours, and will enable us to fulfil even more orders from manufacturing and our growing foodservice sectors, thanks to the increased capacity available to us at the Leeds site.”
