Dawn launches €46m plant

A NEW €46 million flagship meat plant opened by the Dawn Group in West Wales has the capacity of eventually producing three million packs of retail products per week.

The scale of the Dawn Pac plant in Carmarthenshire, one of the most modern and sophisticated in Europe, was outlined last week when the Welsh Economic Development Minister Andrew Davies officially opened the plant.

Part of the Queally business empire, the Dawn Group has 13 plants in Ireland, Britain and France, which employs 2,800 people and has an annual turnover of €825m.
