Spain: Kraft Heinz invests €70 million to upgrade sauces factory

The Spanish division of Kraft Heinz, a producer of cooking and table sauces, has announced the completion of a €70 million upgrade to increase production capacity at its factory in La Rioja, Spain.

The upgrade was completed a year and a half after breaking ground and is intended to enable the company to meet the growing demand for its range of sauces across Europe.

Commenting on the move, Kraft Heinz European and Pacific Developed Markets president Willem Brandt said: “The expansion of our Alfaro factory marks an important step in our journey to become Europe’s number one player in sauces, in and out of home. With increased capacity and new, cutting-edge technology, we’ll be able to respond more readily to evolving culinary trends and tastes – including the demand for healthier versions of fan favourites, like Heinz mayonnaise”.

Kraft Heinz’s brands in Spain include Heinz, Bull’s Eye and Orlando.
