The plant will be used for both Unilever’s food and non-food businesses in the country.

“It will therefore cover the full range of products but allow us to upgrade to a brand new state-of-the-art facility operating to the highest environmental and energy efficiency standards and with better transport links,” the spokesperson said.

Further details could not be disclosed “at this stage”, he added.
