UK poultry processor Moy Park, part of Marfrig Group, has announced plans for a GBP20 million (US$31.5 million) investment in its Grantham food processing site in Lincolnshire which currently specializes in coated poultry products. The proposed investment will see a state-of-the-art Convenience Foods facility built, creating over 150 additional jobs in the area. 

Moy Park’s CEO Nigel Dunlop said: “This proposed new development will transform the Grantham site into one of the most efficient state-of-the-art operations of its kind in the UK and Europe. In order to further enhance our innovation and customer service, strengthen our competitive position and build upon our success in this sector, we plan to consolidate our Grantham and Wisbech Convenience Foods operations to deliver a more streamlined structure for the business.

“As part of this major investment, it is proposed that Wisbech will be repositioned as a cooked sliced meat facility. Full consultations on this change will start immediately with all employees and if the proposal is confirmed the affected employees will be offered a guaranteed option of full redeployment to other manufacturing sites within the group.” 

Plans for the new facility at Grantham would see capacity increase by over 25 percent using the latest environmentally technology. The investment will increase capacity and new product development, and initial stages of the development should be operational by the summer.
