We're proud to announce the opening of a major expansion of our Hastings facility – a project designed to boost capacity, improve safety, cut carbon and future-proof our operations for years to come.
Thanks to smart planning, strategic investment, and a brilliant collaboration with Dawson Group, we've transformed the way we store chilled and frozen goods on-site. The new temperature-controlled facility combines four chambers across two buildings with:
• Over 300 frozen pallet spaces
• 220+ chilled spaces
• Safer forklift access
• Improved cooling and food safety
This means:
• 95% reduction in forklift crossings
• 86 tonnes of CO₂ saved annually
• 10 years of storage capacity secured
Johan Westman, CEO:
"This is a strong commitment to our future, our people, and our planet – and I couldn’t be prouder of what the team has delivered."
Tomas Bergendahl, CFO:
"A solid investment that improves efficiency, reduces costs, and drives down emissions – it’s a win on every level."
Vivienne Carney, Director Global Foodservice:
"This project solves long-standing challenges and sets the site up for long-term success. Huge credit to the team for making it happen."
Shaun Noakes, Site Director said:
“For the Hastings team, this is a real game-changer. The improved layout, safety and storage capacity will make a huge difference to daily operations and create a safer, more efficient environment for our colleagues.”
