Flahavans to invest €1.6m in Waterford mill

FLAHAVANS, which supplies 65% of the porridge consumed at our breakfast tables daily, is embarking on a €1.6 million investment in its mill in Kilmacthomas, Co Waterford, home to the business for the past 200 years.

To date, €500,000 has been spent installing a dryer and associated grain handling equipment. This installation dries the grain quicker and is more energy efficient. A further €1.1m investment will be completed over the next month in new storage units at the mill, which can store up to 4,000 tonnes of product.

That unit is specifically for the expanding end of the organic market, which is gaining traction all the time.
