Unilever plans 3 m euro investment to optimize Basque factory

Filed under:

Food company Unilever-Leioas 2006 investment plan is designed to optimize its production resources. The company has assigned 3 million euros just to maintaining its current technological level. The money will be spent mostly on new machinery and all-round improvements on its production installations.

This is the latest in a series of investments made in recent years. In 2005, investments focused on the product section. A new Whopper-style sauce was introduced, together with a new margarine-packing system.

Formerly known as Agra, the factory, in Leioa just outside Bilbao, was acquired outright by Unilever and now has production lines capable of turning out 400 units a minute. Around 55,000 tons of oils and refined fats are processed at the factory, which also makes around 100,000 tons of margarine, mayonnaise and ketchup.
