North Yorkshire food firm steps up production after new investment
A food firm in Tockwith, North Yorkshire, has big plans for the future after securing a £350,000 investment from Yorkshire Bank as part of the region's Investing for Growth initiative.
Country Products is a food processing and distribution company specialising in sourcing whole foods from all over the world and overseeing the processing, packing and distribution of goods to independent retailers in the UK and Ireland. The company even distributes to health food shops, visitor centres, cinemas and theatres in Sweden and Denmark as well as at home in the UK.
The company has made considerable improvements to its foods processing business in the three years since receiving the £350,000. The company created three new food jobs, opened a third production line and even moved into a new, 10,000-square-foot premises.
Now based in Tockwith's Centre Park, Country Products is implementing the firm's latest development - a fourth production line. In order to meet increased demand, thanks to the rapid growth of the business, the firm has invested £100,000 in a new, automated production line designed to weigh and pack healthy snack food bags such as dried mango and yoghurt-coated raisins.
Country Products hopes that this new production line and equipment - purchased thanks to the Investing for Growth scheme - will help the company reach even higher turnover goals in 2010/11.
