Rosyth plant breaks even
MARINE Harvest’s processing plant in Rosyth broke even for the first time in the third quarter of 2016, the company reported.
‘This is a significant improvement from the previous quarter, as well as the third quarter of 2015, when the results were impacted by preparation costs and start-up costs,’ said Marine Harvest.
The plant, one of the UK’s largest processing facilities covering 200,000 sq ft, began production early in 2015 and was part of an £80 million investment programme by the group.
The plant’s managing director, Bertil Buysse, who replaced Andy Stapley in April, was tasked with turning around the factory’s fortunes.
Marine Harvest Group said in the UK it was ‘experiencing strong growth due to full range production for a major retail customer’.
‘We continue our efforts to grow sales through the introduction of new products and through cross-selling of existing products.’
