HARIBO UK is set to open a new purpose-built warehouse in Castleford early next year as part of a £35m investment in its operations. The company has committed the funds to upgrade its facilities, including an additional production and packaging line, aimed at addressing increased demand for its products. Caddick Construction has been appointed to build the warehouse, with work slated to begin in early 2024.
The investment is designed to strengthen HARIBO UK’s market position and secure jobs in the region. The company has had a successful financial year, boasting a record market share of 22.6% and a 7.7% increase in turnover. Alongside infrastructure development, HARIBO UK is expanding its retail footprint, with new stores planned for both Kent’s Bluewater Shopping Centre and Scotland’s Silverburn Shopping Centre in Glasgow.
As a headline sponsor of the Pontefract Liquorice Festival this July, the company continues to support local events and its longstanding connection to Yorkshire’s confectionery heritage. HARIBO UK’s continued investment and growth reflect its ongoing commitment to innovation and regional manufacturing excellence.
