The bulk of the investment, GBP2m, has been spent on a new line at the Oswestry site to improve packing rates. A whey desalination plant will be set up at the creamery in Llandyrnog to remove salt from whey solids, which will then be processed into ingredients.

“This latest equipment will deliver a range of benefits including consistent quality and service for our customers, improved yields and reduced wastage,” Carl Ravenhall, MD of Milk Link’s cheese business unit, said.
