Expanded US division expected to generate $600m in annual revenues

Greencore has said its US operations should have the capacity to generate up to $600m in annual revenues, once recently announced expansion plans come on stream.

At the end of last year, Greencore’s US division — which mainly provides food products to the 7-Eleven and Starbucks chains — had an estimated sales capacity of $350m.

This figure, according to management, will rise to $600m once a new sandwich manufacturing facility it intends to build at Quonset, Rhode Island, is up and running early next year.
