Kentish Oils and Condiments emménage dans une toute nouvelle usine ultramoderne dans le Kent

Les producteurs primés d'huile pressée à froid, Kentish Oils and Condiments, ont emménagé dans un bâtiment spécialement conçu à cet effet., usine ultramoderne près de Sandwich, Kent.

La construction de l'usine intervient après une période de croissance substantielle, après avoir remporté deux nouveaux contrats importants avec Cook, le fabricant primé de plats cuisinés surgelés basé à Sittingbourne et Higgidy Pies, a Shoreham based manufacturer of pies and quiches.

Kitted out to the highest specification to meet rigorous food safety and accreditation standards, the build also includes a development kitchen with an expanded range of equipment.

The move increases Kentish Oil and Condiment’s production capacity to manage the increasing demand for products but also creates new opportunities for the business, allowing them to work with other companies to ‘own label’ products on their behalf.

As part of the expansion, the company have invested in new equipment which will allow them to produce hot fill products such as jams and chutneys, expanding their current product range.

Kentish Oils and Condiment’s Owner, Laura Bounds MBE, said “It’s such an exciting time for the business and the new factory marks the next stage in our ambitious growth plans. Our state-of-the-art facilities will allow us to develop further partnerships and collaborate with bigger food manufacturing businesses like Cook and Higgidy pies, along with plenty of our own product development too, which I know our customers have been looking forward to.”

Whilst manufacturing in the new unit has already started, the development kitchen will be up and running from September.
