French table oils and condiments company Lesieur has announced a €21 million investment that will be used to update its production facility and R&D unit in Coudekerque, northern France.
Of this capital, €2.4 million will be spent on its refining site, €17 million on its table oils and packaging plant, and €2 million on its Research, Innovation and Development Center.
Groupe Avril, which controls Lesieur, says the company’s investment is designed ‘to adapt its industrial facilities so that it can respond efficiently to changes in demands from customers and consumers, while at the same time assuring the competitiveness of these activities and their long-term future.’
“This investment aims to make Coudekerque a cutting-edge industrial facility that can better respond to the demands of our customers and consumers,” said Jean-Philippe Puig, Groupe Avril's CEO.
“It wholly reflects Lesieur's ambition to remain the leader in its market, but also the unfailing commitment and know-how of the teams working in the facility and research center in Coudekerque."
