/in /by

In an ambitious move to expand its production capabilities, James Caterers Limited has announced a substantial investment of €15 million in its factory over the next two years. The investment aims to expand its production facility by over 6,000 square meters on an area of 1,800 square meters.

 

Presently, the company boasts an output of more than 17,500 meals per day. However, with this expansion, it has set its sight even higher, with aspirations to scale up production to a staggering 50,000 meals daily. This significant boost in production capacity is aimed at catering for both local and foreign markets.

The existing factory, sprawling over an impressive 23,000 square meters, has been instrumental in establishing the Group’s reputation for quality and efficiency. With a total investment of €35 million already allocated to the facility, this new infusion of funds highlights the company’s commitment to continual growth and innovation. The expansion project is anticipated to bring about an additional influx of employment opportunities, further solidifying the Group’s role as a contributor to Malta’s economic development.
