The project will be finished in 12 months, a spokesman for Aranda De Duero, Burgos-based Pascual said.
Moreover, Pascual said it invested EUR€13m (US$15.4) to inaugurate a new PET-bottling facility at the Gurb site which will enable it to package aseptically packaged sterile milk.
PET bottling is more environmentally-friendly than traditional polyethilene packaging. The site is the first of its kind in the Catalonia region, Pascual added.
Since it opened last year, Pascual has earmarked €60m to expand Gurb, which now employs 100 workers.
