“By producing its noodles in-house, Symington’s will shorten its supply chain. It currently takes eight to ten weeks to source noodles from China,” Symington’s business development director Henrik Pade said.

Pade explained the move would “enable the company to be more responsive to customer orders and deliver exciting new promotions at short notice”.
