Easton, Lincolnshire, UK: Magnavale has expanded its contract packing lines at its Easton cold store.
The move has led to a “huge increase in our packing, labelling and date-coding output”, says Magnavale. The new lines are suitable for a variety of ambient, chilled, and frozen food products.
Amanda Cogan, chief operating officer, says: “These high-volume packing, labelling and date-coding lines mean that we can support our clients amid increasing demand without putting strain on our other cold chain operations.
“Our packing lines at Magnavale Easton are some of the most efficient in the UK, with both manual and automated capabilities that can flexibly handle a range of ambient, chilled, and frozen products.”
Magnavale says its cold stores are equipped “ to handle both raw materials and packed finished goods, providing a seamless integration of multiple cold chain services in one location”.
According to Magnavale’s website, the Easton cold store has over 220,000sq ft of warehousing space with 44,000 temperature-controlled pallet locations.
