Tiger Brands on Monday unveiled a R200 million investment in its Paarl facility, turning the site that has been in operation since 1903 into a state-of-the-art culinary mega-site with three dedicated production plants.
The investment is the first of the company’s structural investments to go live, as part of its strategy to drive growth through improving competitiveness. Tiger Brands is investing about R1.5 billion annually in capital expenditure for the next three years, with peak investment reaching R2bn.
A Tiger Brands super bakery in Pretoria, a R1bn investment, is on track for commission in 2027, and a Mega Distribution Centre in Gauteng is expected to be operational the following year.
At its Snacks and Treats operation in eThekwini, Durban, production is being consolidated into a single mega-site, with the project expected to be completed later this year. The consolidation aims to streamline operations and improve manufacturing efficiencies across the business.
