Production Facilities

Blending

For many years the Company has blended dried product to produce products such as fruit pie fillings, gravies, cornish pasty fillings etc. However in 2003 the Company commissioned the design and build of a new purpose built £1m blending facility. The facility can blend and repack up to 20 tonnes of product per day to meet the demands of the largest customer.

Many of our customers with in-house blending facilities, who we used to supply ingredients to blend, are now asking us to supply them with the finished product.

Re-Packing

Whilst the Company sells many of its products in bulk pack sizes it can also pack down to an infinite number of pack sizes using its Sandiacre formpack machine. This is used for products sold into the food service sector and to food manufacturers who require smaller pack sizes or pack sizes equivalent to their specific batch weights.

The Company also packs products into pots for example herbs and spices under its own "Chef William" brand and for a number of "own label" customers.
