Scottish manufacturer Aulds has started building a new dessert factory to replace the one destroyed by fire in September, pictured above. The factory will be on the same site as the original 5,570m2 facility at Inchinnan, near Glasgow Airport, but a number of efficiency and environmental improvements, such as rainwater harvesting, sunlight tubes and energy-conserving electrical systems, will feature in the design, along with improved fire prevention.
The frozen desserts and bakery goods manufacturer has been operating from an adjacent 2,000m2 temporary facility, which was up and running within five weeks of the blaze. The new factory is set to be completed by June 2007.
