HKScan's Estonian facility expansion on schedule

The investment in this new processing unit has been announced earlier in December 2017. HKScan says that the project is progressing on schedule as part of the company's drive for a sharper focus on the growing value-added products categories.

“Construction is in full swing and the modernized facilities will be operational during the first half of next year,” says Anne Mere, EVP Market Area Baltics.

“We are investing in the latest cooking and packaging technology to enable the launch of new ready-to-eat products. We’re also working on innovative, eco-friendly packaging solutions, which are attracting growing interest among consumers. The Rakvere plant’s products will be sold not only on the Baltic market, but throughout HKScan’s home markets. We’re also committed to increasing exports from Estonia,” states Mere.
