Weetabix said the major capital investment will “replace or upgrade key processes within the estates”.
“The new production programme called internally ‘Performance Through People’ was implemented after a successful trial at Burton Latimer,” the spokesperson told just-food. “The first initiation phase of the programme will be completed by the end of February.
“To date, the pilot facility at Burton Latimer has already seen 25% raised output in terms of hourly rates of production reduced waste and energy consumption.”
