Greencore is disposing of its chilled desserts facility in Minsterley to the Muller Dairy UK for £4.3 million. Under the terms of the disposal, ownership of the facility will transfer to Muller and the co-packing arrangement for Cadbury chilled desserts will terminate.

The disposal is expected to complete at the start of January 2013, by which time the transfer of production of other premium desserts lines and related manufacturing equipment to Greencore’s Evercreech facility will have been completed. This would then conclude the restructuring of the chilled desserts business, which Greencore acquired from Uniq in September 2011.
