Adams Foods Ltd recently engaged Lorien Engineering Solutions to relocate its packing lines from Wincanton in Somerset to Leek, Staffordshire.

The project involved transferring all blended cheese production lines to a new, purpose-built blended cheese and innovation centre at the firm’s Leek HQ.

Lorien is responsible for the building design and project management, including the construction of a new production facility for Adams Foods – owner of Pilgrim’s Choice, Kerrygold and MU brands.

“A fixed cost for this project was essential for the board approval," said Lorien’s Phil Colquhoun. "Lorien has worked hard with local suppliers of many disciplines to assemble this project within the budget assigned.” 

Adams Foods was launched on 4 October 2010 following the merger between The Kerrygold Company and North Downs Dairy.

Part of the Irish Dairy Board Group (IDB), the company provides  a range of hard cheese and butter products to the retail, wholesale and food service sectors.
