Wingland Foods completes expansion
30 May 2011: Wingland Foods has completed the third pound 1 million (approx Rs 37 crore) phase of a factory expansion that provides it with a 336m2 of additional low- and high-care cooking space.
The firm - owned by Icelandic frozen and convenience foods giant Bakkavör - has also invested £100,000 in new equipment at the Spalding site to expand its current manufacturing capabilities and diversify its product range.
This expansion opens up new possibilities for Wingland Foods in terms of diversification. The recent good news comes after Bakkavör announced the closure of its Exotic Farm Produce factory in Kirton on 13 May 2011, with up to 66 of its 115 staff now facing redundancy.
The factory – which processes peas, beans and exotic vegetables – had been unprofitable due to reduced sales and ongoing input inflation.
