As one of the UK's market leaders in bagged salad, Natures Way Foods Ltd has continued to invest to support its long-term growth strategy and meet customer demand.
The 
Selsey site, known as the Home of Babyleaf, has been extended twice since its opening in 1995. The latest investment sees an increase of 2500 m2, bringing the total to 12,400 m2, making it the largest bagged salad site in the U.K.
Over the past 12 months, Natures Way Foods has spent building the addition to the existing factory and it now contains some of the most advanced and leading-edge kit. The NWF project team has worked collaboratively with machine specialists to design bespoke solutions for washing, preparing and bagging babyleaf products.
It’s been remarkable to deliver such a large-scale, complex project in the middle of a pandemic. Seeing the design and innovation come to life and working with the best teams in the industry will enable NWF to achieve its growth plans and makes me feel proud to work here.
Nathan Bennett, Engineering Projects Manager
In addition to the investment in the factory build and kit, the IT infrastructure has been significantly upgraded with fibreoptic cabling and a redesign to support the future growth of the business. Roof-mounted air conditioning units have been installed to provide stable temperature and humidity and UPS’s to ‘clean’ the power input and provide short periods of backup when required.
I’m proud to lead this exceptional site as experts in babyleaf production. The demand for babyleaf products, spinach, watercress and the like, is on the rise and we will deliver the best quality and service to our customers.
