Once finished, Vitasoy said the plant in Changping Town, Dongguan City, will become its largest in mainland China. The total investment will include the price of the land, construction costs and the purchase of new equipment.
Vitasoy’s portfolio includes dairy-free beverages such as soya milk, and tofu, marketed under its own brand name.
Executive chairman Winston Lo said: “Mainland China is now our biggest and fastest growing market. The new Dongguan production base will be Vitasoy’s biggest plant, but our commitment and determination goes beyond scale. The new plant will also provide us with adequate production capacity to support our future expansion.”
