Kellanova, the leading US cereal and snacks firm, has announced an investment of £75 million ($98 million) to expand production at its breakfast cereal facility in Wrexham, North Wales.
The Wrexham site, which opened in 1978, is Kellanova’s largest Special K plant globally. It also manufactures other brands, such as All Bran, Bran Flakes, and Fruit ‘n’ Fibre. Brands including Corn Flakes and Crunchy Nut will also transition to Wrexham once the Trafford Park factory in Greater Manchester closes in late 2026.
Commenting on the move, Kellanova UK managing director Chris Silcock said: “This investment is a major commitment to cereal production in the UK. By bringing together the manufacturing of all our major breakfast cereals at one site in Wrexham, we can make significant leaps forward in the efficiency, quality and sustainability of our operation. It sets us up for future success and opens up new possibilities for our iconic brands to continue delighting our customers and consumers”.
