Pembrokeshire Creamery Unveils Date for Grand Opening
Posted on: 11/09/23
Anticipation is in the air as Pembrokeshire Creamery Ltd proudly declares the forthcoming debut of its cutting-edge liquid milk processing facility in the heart of Haverfordwest, set to commence operations in the first quarter of 2024.
With a strategic capacity to bottle 60 million litres of milk during its initial 12-18 month phase, the creamery's ambitions ascend to an impressive 120 million litres annually once it attains full operational capacity. This revolutionary advancement will empower UK supermarkets to cater to their Welsh clientele with milk that is not only sourced from Wales but also undergoes bottling on Welsh soil, preventing the necessity of cross-border transit to England for processing, as has been the norm.
By mitigating the necessity for Welsh milk to undertake journeys to English bottling plants, Pembrokeshire Creamery is poised to make significant strides in diminishing food miles and heightening the efficiency of the supply chain, marking a notable leap towards sustainability.
In an exceptional dual victory, local processing is forecasted to orchestrate the creation of approximately 60 new employment opportunities within Phase 1 at the Haverfordwest location. Simultaneously, it will fortify and potentially engender employment prospects within auxiliary industries and supply chains. This comprehensive economic uplift is primed to extend its nurturing embrace to the local farming economy and rural communities, delivering a resounding positive impact.
