Oviganic expansion and modernization

Our parent company, the Chinese group Yeeper Dairy, will invest 16 million in the expansion of our plant in Monforte. The project is supported by the Xunta de Galicia, and will generate around fifty new jobs.

We are very excited to announce that, after the last meeting of the Consello da Xunta, it has been agreed to declare the modernization project of our plant in Monforte as a priority business initiative. This means that all the related procedures that fall under the competence of the Xunta will have a preferential character. Consequently, the administrative deadlines will be reduced by half, while all the technical and regulatory requirements will be maintained.

The project will involve the elimination of economic and environmental costs by completing in the same territory the supply lines of raw materials and the elaboration of products, and will imply important energy savings in the production, packaging, transport and commercialization processes.

Already at the end of 2019, during the visit of the Ministries of Economy and Rural Environment to our facilities, it was announced the interest of Yeeper Dairy in developing a second production line, aimed at the production of products with goat and sheep milk. However, the estimated details regarding investment and job had been kept on the sidelines.

This expansion will allow us to put into operation a new line for the production of powdered milk for high-end baby food, and to install a plant for the production of butter oil from sheep’s, goat’s and cow’s milk. A basic preparation for the production of other food products.

In this way we expand our production possibilities, being able to adapt even more to the particular needs of our customers.

Likewise, the project implies the elimination of both economic and environmental costs, by completing in the same territory the supply lines of raw material and product elaboration, which translates into energy savings in the production, packaging, transport and commercialization processes. Shortly, a step forward in terms of respect for the environment and nature conservation.

In addition, we hope that this expansion will serve as a dynamizing action for sectors in our environment, such as cattle, sheep and goat farms.

We are also excited to expand our workforce, contributing to the economic progress of the region.

The Xunta has already confirmed that, through the ministry of Rural Environment, Oviganic will receive an aid of three million euros, framed within the lines of financing projects of improvement for the transformation and commercialization of the agrarian products.
