UK sandwich maker On A Roll plans to open a GBP3.2m (US$5m) factory to expand production of its food-to-go sandwiches.

The company said the move would support the "rapid growth" it has witnessed in recent years, increasing production capacity. The 35,000 square foot facility will give On A Roll the ability to "more than double" its output and pave the way for "new ranges and bespoke customer requirements".

The expansion will create 94 new positions at the company, the Middlesbrough-based group revealed.
