South Caernarfon Creameries secures Sainsbury’s contract for Basics Cheese range

Welsh firm South Caernarfon Creameries has secured a contract to supply Sainsbury’s with its Basics Cheese range.

According to the contract, the company will supply 13 products across Sainsbury’s Basics range. These products will be launched later this year.

South Caernarfon Creameries managing director Alan Jones said: "This contract will result in us supplying both entry-level cheese, as well as top tier products nationally to Sainsbury’s."

The dairy company’s new cheese production facility will soon become completely operational and the contract will result in the new facility being operational at full production from the outset.

The firm will also invest significantly in cheese packing operations and create around 15 more jobs once the contract begins.

Jones added: "Securing an important contract such as this will give all of our stakeholders great confidence for the future of our business."

"This award is testament to our relationship with Sainsbury’s and our journey together during the last few years’. We thank them for their continued support and look forward to working with them on both this project and others as we enter a really exciting period for our business."

The company has not disclosed how much cheese it would be producing for the contract or who it is replacing as Sainsbury’s supplier.
