McCain invests $57m into AU potato plant
The next stages of the upgrade will include an extension of the processing building area, installation of a new potato receiving storage facility and the installation of new equipment to improve the quality, production and capacity of the plant.
McCain Food’s Regional President, Louis Wolthers, said the plant’s redevelopment will benefit McCain customers, growers and employees.
“This project will create more than 100 jobs during the life of the project; many of our 700 suppliers, including the thousands of trucks rolling in and out of the plant every month, will also benefit,” Wolthers said.
Upon completion, the sites’ capacity is expected to increase by 25 per cent, resulting in an additional AUD12.6m for local potato farmers over the next eight years.
