Frozen food giant PinguinLutosa Food Group is ploughing almost £20million into its Lynn site.
A major refit of PinguinLutosa UK's packing facilities is under
way and last year a new frozen bean production line was
commissioned.
At the close of 2010 £6.2million had been spent on PinguinLutosa
UK's operations.
A further £13million investment will see an additional 10,000
pallet space cold store, a new high speed freezing production line,
a more environmentally friendly biological effluent plant and a
brand new development centre.
UK managing director, Peter Denolf, said: "This exciting
investment plan keeps PinguinLutosa at the forefront of frozen food
production in the UK and will allow us to continue to offer our
customers a highly efficient service as well as top quality British
produce."
PinguinLutosa Food Group also expects to complete the takeover of
the d'Aucy frozen food group in May 2011.
Pinguin is giving up part of its 44-acre site on the Hardwick
Industrial Estate to accommodate the new Sainsbury's superstore
which is being created there.
A tripartite agreement between Morston Assets, Sainsbury's and
Pinguin will help finance a new £7million link road for the
industrial estate.
