Pladis, the global bakery and snacks firm, has announced a £68 million ($91.12 million) investment across its UK operations.
The company is splitting the investments across multiple sites, allocating £21 million ($28 million) to introduce a modern chocolate moulding line with advanced robotic technology at its Stockport site, where its McVitie’s Jaffa Cake brand is made. Other investments include a £33 million ($44.22 million) upgrade to the Aintree site in Liverpool, where Jacob’s Cream Crackers are made, and £2 million ($3 million) for the savoury assortments department at the Carlisle bakery.
A further £12 million ($16 million) has also been set aside to invest in infrastructure across Pladis’s wider UK network, which includes Halifax, Harlesden and Leicester.
Commenting on the move, Pladis’ UK & Ireland managing director Mete Buyurgan said: “We have a fantastic suite of much-loved brands, baked by dedicated colleagues, and we have a responsibility to continue to nurture these brands for customers and consumers across the world. The news of these investments we are sharing today will enable us to achieve this”.
The investments are expected to be completed by the end of 2026.
