Facilities for Hire
Food Centre Wales offers unrivalled facilities for food manufacturers to develop new products. The same facilities give those looking to add value to their produce an opportunity to produce completely new foods. The four process areas are all fitted to the highest standards and can be used to manufacture a wide range of products including dairy, meat, confectionary, vegetable and bakery. There is chilled and frozen storage space available.The building is also certified by the Soil Association. These facilities are available for hire and a food Technologist is at hand to assist. They will help you scale up your recipes, train you in the use of the equipment, set processing conditions - all necessary for your manufacture.
The technical facility is designed to allow food producers to manufacture products on small industrial scale.
Dairy UnitThe dairy unit at FCW has 3 processing areas, raw pasteurisation, cheese making & main processing. The unit has separate chilled and freezer space plus an independent wash room from all other areas. Due to high demand for our original dairy unit FCW has extended the dairy to accommodate more clients per day and maximise the availability for new and existing clients.
