Upgrade for plant-based food factory

28 July 2023

A County Down based food producer, Finnebrogue has announced a £2.8 million investment to upgrade its three-year-old plant-based food factory.

The supplier of plant-based food to UK supermarkets has installed 2,846 solar panels on the roof of its vegan food factory – and is expanding car parking and infrastructure around the site to accommodate for further growth and to eliminate 580t of CO2 emissions, provide further energy security and provide the company with the additional infrastructure required to accommodate its further growth within the plant-based category.
 
The solar panels will come on stream this month, while additional infrastructure ways will be finished by the end of the year.
 
Commenting on the announcement, Jago Pearson, chief strategy officer at Finnebrogue, said:  “As we continue on our growth trajectory in the plant-based sector and across the other categories in which we play, we also continue to invest in our people and our facilities. We are privileged to have four outstanding food production facilities in County Down, the oldest being just eight years old, but we are always seeking ways in which we can make improvements so we can make more food the best it can possibly be. “Our latest investment will reduce our carbon emissions, deliver additional energy security and provide us with additional room to grow.”
