Arla Foods inaugurates state-of-the-art cheese production site in Bahrain

摘要

Arla Foods ("Arla") has inaugurated a state-of-the-art cheese production site in the Kingdom of Bahrain to support the increasing demands for dairy in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). The company will invest approximately €50 million ($55 million) in the site over the next two to three years to increase capacity as it becomes the key strategic manufacturing hub for the company in MENA. Arla will also create more than 100 direct jobs over the next two to three years in the local market. The opening follows Aria's acquisition of Mondelez International's processed cheese business in the region in May 2019, which also gave it full ownership of the production site.
