The facility will focus on creating more products under brands including Trident, Halls, Bassetts and The Natural Confectionery Co.
Chuck Davis, vice president of research, development and quality for Kraft’s European division, said the investment made “good business sense”.
“Over recent years, gum has been growing in popularity in Europe as consumers look for new ways to indulge and refresh themselves through great flavours, fresh breath and even for oral care. At Kraft Foods, we see this as a great growth opportunity, both for our European business and globally,” Davis said today (5 October).
