EPC to bring Alembic sauces into Newbury site
English Provender Company (EPC), the pickles and dressings manufacturer, is to incorporate its Alembic Products (APL) operation at Chester into its site at Newbury, following a review.
APL was acquired by EPC, part of the Billington food group, in September last year.
"The decision has been taken to amalgamate the APL business with EPC based in Newbury to form one trading entity under the EPC name, while retaining the Chester site for a specific role," said EPC md Gary Blake.
"We will be transferring a significant amount of volume from Chester to Newbury and unfortunately this will have an inevitable impact on some jobs at the Chester site. However, looking forward there is a bright, if different, future for Chester that presents plenty of exciting opportunities."
