Pladis announced a ‘landmark investment’, worth GBP 68 million, in expanding its operations in Liverpool, Stockport and Carlisle, while also cutting 876 tonnes of carbon emissions per year. At these facilities, the company produces specialties for its brands, including McVitie’s, Jacob’s and Carr’s. This current investment rollout is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2026.  

The biggest share of the investment goes to the sites in the North West of England, the company announced. The move is expected to boost the growth of some of Britain’s favorite brands, including McVitie’s and Jacob’s.

We have a fantastic suite of much-loved brands, baked by dedicated colleagues, and we have a responsibility to continue to nurture these brands for customers and consumers across the world. The news of these investments we are sharing today will enable us to achieve this.”
