Dairygold invests in Leeds dairy

Dairygold Food Ingredients UK is to invest £250,000 at its Dan Dairies site in Leeds, which will significantly increase the capacity of this production facility.

The investment will allow for the creation of a dedicated production line for Pumpable Soft Cheese, a stand-alone 2kg filling line, new cream storage tanks and production machinery upgrades.

Terry Cunningham, Dairygold Food Ingredients sales and marketing director, said: “Expansion into new markets continues to be our priority, with opportunities for us to provide both Soft and Pumpable Soft Cheese to customers across Continental Europe as well as in the UK.

“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.”

The investment in Dan Dairies is part of a broader £2.5M programme of investment and expansion across the company’s sites. Other activities include a new grating line at its Crewe site.
