Rick Bestwick, part of the Magnavale Group, has announced that it has opened a new meat packing line for its customers. The company has stated that this addition to its services allows the business to handle exposed products and pack it for the UK, European and South Korean markets.
Colin Taylor, Rick Bestwick CEO, commented: “It’s a trend we’re seeing in the industry. Producers want to focus on their core activity rather than things like packing, labelling, blast freezing etc. Outsourcing these activities allows our customers to avoid the pitfalls of maintenance, breakdowns, equipment costs, inspections and the costly need to recruit and train staff.
“Packing is a natural expansion of the already extensive range of services we offer at Rick Bestwick and now our customers can simply produce their product and send it to us to handle everything from packing to labelling, blast freezing, storage and export.”
Rick Bestwick has an international focus and the new packing line is already approved for export to the key Asian market of South Korea, with the business confirming it intends to expand that capability further in the near future to more markets in East Asia.
