Dairy Crest invests £85 million in UK

摘要

Dairy Crest, a leading British-owned dairy company, has announced a significant investment in its Davidstow creamery in Cornwall. Dairy Crest is investing £85 million in growing the capacity of its cheese business, £75 million of which will be invested at Davidstow. The investment will allow further growth of the Company's market-leading cheese brands Cathedral City and Davidstow, enhance whey production capacity and support farmers and economic growth in the South West. Ultimately, the investment will enable Dairy Crest to process an additional 200 million litres of milk every year, increasing the Company's annual cheese production capacity from 54,000 tonnes to 77,000 tonnes over the next four to five years. The Company's whey production at the site, largely used for the global infant formula market, will grow proportionally.
