UK meat giant Dunbia is to spend GBP7.5m (US$12.3m) on a new beef processing site in Wales to service a contract with Sainsbury’s.
Dunbia will set up a facility on the former DairyGold site in Felinfach in western Wales. The company has already used the site for a temporary lamb processing facility while its plant in Llanybydder was redeveloped, a project that was completed this year.
The new beef processing site will create 208 jobs. Jonathan Young, Dunbia’s HR director, called the investment “a really exciting opportunity” for the company.
