The powder line is expected to be completed by 2012, while the cheese line is expected to be ready the end of 2014.
The plant is understood to employ around 320 staff and it is the largest of Valio’s cheese factories.
In April, Valio reported a “difficult” 2009 for the dairy markets as it booked a drop in net sales.
