Marmalade and jam producer Mackays is set to embark on a major multi-million-pound investment that will see its business premises grow by 50%.
Starting in January 2018, the £3.8m expansion will allow the company to introduce new product lines into its existing factory as well as create a dedicated distribution centre and co-packaging facility.
A £3m investment from the firm along with a further £875,000 European Grant will cover the lease, fit-out and purchase of new equipment.
The business employs 180 people at its factory in Angus.
Mackays Managing Director, Martin Grant (pictured above at the site of the development), said: “The expansion announcement rounds off a fantastic year for Mackays. With our business turnover up 7%, which includes an increase of 35% in export, we are in great shape and looking forward with excitement to the year ahead.”
