Food supplier to boost capabilities with ‘game-changing’ herb factory

Lincolnshire-based Sleaford Quality Foods (SQF) is set to benefit from a significant investment in its global herb production facilities.

SQF’s parent company Jain Farm Fresh has opened a new 10,500 sq m herb factory in southern Turkey which will further enhance the food supplier’s ability to provide quality ingredients to its global customer base in the manufacturing and foodservice sectors.

The new factory has been fitted out with the latest equipment, facilities and infrastructure and employs a handpicked team with extensive knowledge of the herb and spice industry.

The move comes just over a year after Jain opened a 14,000 sq m spice facility in India.

James Arnold, managing director at Sleaford Quality Foods, said: “This new facility is a huge boost to our capabilities. It means SQF now has even tighter control on traceability, quality and testing. Our commitment to traceability means we have full control of sourcing as we deal directly with farmers, meaning our customers can trace our products from farm to fork.

“Together, these two facilities are game-changers for SQF – and, more importantly, our customers. We look forward to working with customers old and new to take herb and spice production and supply into a whole new, exciting era.”

Sleaford Quality Foods has been shortlisted in two categories at the 2020 East Midlands Business Masters Awards.
