Finnish company Atria is looking to boost its competitiveness through investment in its pig cutting plant in Nurmo.
The firm is to invest around €36m in expanding and modernising the site, with new production facilities to be built alongside the existing plant.
Existing production facilities will also be renovated and automated using the latest production technology, said Atria.
It believes that the investment will substantially raise the plant’s productivity and profitability, and is expected to generate annual cost savings of around €8m.
Work on the project is expected to last approximately two years, and will result in staff being relocated, with some redundancies expected.
