This latest development brings the total number of processing facilities in the Dunbia Group to 10 throughout the UK and Ireland.
Jim Dobson Managing Director Dunbia said: “The strategic location of the Heathfield Foods facility coupled with its strong pork supply base positioned it as a perfect fit for the Dunbia Group. By dovetailing into the existing business operations and infrastructure of Dunbia, the site will further increase our overall pork processing capabilities.”
