Christian Salvesen Foods: New contract with Birds Eye

Christian Salvesen Foods has won a major new 10 year contract with Birds Eye to provide pea processing and dedicated logistics services for Europe’s largest pea processing factory in Hull.

The GBP 10 million investments with Birds Eye will be operational by May 2008 and the project will see the current Christian Salvesen site in Salvesen Way, on the Brighton Street industrial estate, expanded with the addition of a new factory capable of handling more than 50,000 tones of processed peas each year.

This latest project strengthens the existing partnership between Salvesen and Birds Eye and provides cold storage, distribution and processing facilities at the factory to be built by Birds Eye. The company and Christian Salvesen Foods have a strong partnership that currently also provides processing and cold storage facilities in Lowestoft – an operation that has been working successfully for more than seven years.
