About contract manufacturing capabilities

New Contract Manufacturing Facility

BV Dairy are proud to announce that following receipt of a regional development grant and a further investment of over £2m we have successfully commissioned our new contract manufacturing facility focusing on specifically pots (100ml – 550ml).

The facility has full inline processing from incubation, mixing, filling, packing, metal detection, check weighing through to blast chilling and palletisation.

This provided the company with increased production space, improved technology, and greater manufacturing capacity which in turn has created several new high-quality jobs to the area.
