Icelandic ambassador opens Colchester manufacturing plant
AEW Delford System's new manufacturing plant in Colchester has been officially opened by the Icelandic ambassador, His Excellency Sverrir H Gunnlaugsson.
The company, part of Iceland's Marel Food Systems, makes a range of checkweighers, weigh price labellers, labellers and other end-of-line machines and systems for the world's food processing industry.
The new 11,000m2 facility replaces an old factory in Harwich. 119 people are employed at the new site, which represents a £1.8M investment by Marel. It provides the necessary technology for the company to design, develop and produce the latest generation of machines and systems.
AEW Delford also has two sites in Norwich, employing a further 145 people. These factories design, develop and manufacture automatic portion control slicers and saws, high speed slicing machines and systems, robot portion loading and batching systems.
