Mondelez International to invest over 30 million euros in Herentals bakery

 

The new installations should be ­operational early 2024 and will enable the site to transform into a more modern, flexible, and competitive factory, while increasing the production capacity. “This significant investment will continue the modernizing of the production installations in our Herentals facility and create a highly efficient and robust supply infrastructure for our iconic ­biscuits such as Prince, Tuc, and Pim‘s,” said Bart De Geest, Plant Director at Mondelez Herentals. ”In combination with the development of our people expertise, this operation will enable the plant to develop its competitiveness and prepares the ground for future growth of the plant.”

The company plans to install a production line for Tuc crackers, in addition to the two existing cracker lines. According to the press release, the new line will create an additional 6,500 tonnes of capacity for Tuc, available to support up to 40% future growth. Mondelez also plans to add a production hall for Prince biscuits.
