Greenyard has opened a state-of-the-art sauce facility at its Prepared-site in Bree, Belgium. This €3 million investment responds to growing consumer demand for conveniently prepared and packaged sauces.
The new production line will produce thousands of litres of delicious sauces per hour, significantly expanding Greenyard's new product development capabilities. The new facility will enable the company to develop further innovative plant-based options for different consumption scenarios for end consumers. The investment will create new jobs at the Bree site and strengthen Greenyard's commitment to promoting the consumption of delicious plant-based foods.
In response to the growing demand for convenience
Demand for Green Yard's sauces has grown by 80% over the past decade. In light of this trend, the company has decided to make one more major investment in its production line in 2023, including the installation of a new sauce kitchen, a new filling station and a new glass packaging line, which will allow Green Yard Prepared to increase the annual capacity of its Brie production site to 15 million units.
Jonny van Holtzaeth, managing director of Greenyard Prepared, said: “Our new sauce kitchen is an important chapter in our growth story, combining the latest technology with innovative product development. The automated cleaning system and advanced cooking process allow us to significantly reduce the heating and cooking time of sauces, which not only improves the quality of our products but also opens up opportunities for a greater variety of delicious and nutritious recipes.”
Employment opportunities
In addition to tasty and nutritious products, the new sauce kitchen in Bree will also create new jobs. Greenyard Prepared is currently hiring for all positions, including technicians and operators. No specific background is required. If you are interested in the job, you can apply at any time. Also, be sure to join Greenyard Prepared's local recruitment event on October 24, 2024.
