Arla Foods is set to invest significantly in the UK's dairy sector with plans to produce mozzarella in Devon by 2027, creating new jobs and advancing apprenticeship programs.
Last year, Arla Foods made a significant investment aimed at enhancing its production capabilities in the UK, with the Taw Valley Creamery in Devon slated to produce mozzarella starting in 2027.
This development is not just about expanding production but is a part of a larger strategy that includes creating 100 skilled jobs in the area. The focus will be on apprenticeships to nurture talent, with the aim of offering full-time positions at the creamery, as emphasized by Fran Ball, VP of production in the UK.
Moreover, Arla Foods has announced an ambitious £90m investment proposal for its Lockerbie site, reinforcing its commitment to the future of British dairy. According to Bas Padberg, Arla Foods UK managing director, these initiatives are set to bolster UK manufacturing and help secure better returns for farmer owners.
