Nantwich-based Heler Foods has announced a £2 million investment to expand its Porthmadog facility in Wales.
This latest development Heler Foods Packing builds on more than £6 million invested since the site was acquired in 2022.
The Porthmadog operation has been turned into a modern cheese cutting, blending and packing facility.
The company says the expansion will enable the introduction of new production lines, improve operational flow and increase efficiency, supporting growing customer demand across UK supermarkets, foodservice and export markets.
It also supports recent partnerships including a licensing agreement with PizzaExpress, alongside continued growth in Heler Foods’ branded portfolio.
George Heler, CEO at the company in Hatherton, said: “We have seen strong growth over the past four years, and expanding our footprint in Porthmadog allows us to build the capacity needed for the next stage of that journey.
“We have always believed in investing for the long term. Heler Foods Packing is now our centre of excellence for cheese packing and plays a critical role in our business.
“This investment ensures we have the space and capability to support continued growth.”
The investment is expected to create 100 jobs over the next three years, boosting the local economy in Porthmadog.
Growth in Heler Foods’ branded range continues to accelerate, with flagship brand Eatlean Protein delivering 60% growth, further underpinning the need for increased capacity and capability.
