South Caernarfon Creameries will officially open its new £2.5m milk processing plant next week.
The new state-of-the-art plant at Chwilog, near Pwllheli, has been funded with a 40% processing and marketing grant delivered by the Welsh Development Agency, using WelshAssembly Government and European funding.
Company president Dafydd Wigley will officially open the new dairy at a reception on Thursday, May 15.
At the new plant milk will be packed for local shops and supermarkets including Tesco and Marks and Spencer.
Today the company is the only surviving farmer-owned co-operative in Wales, has an annual turnover of £28m and employs approximately 170 workers, making it one of Gwynedd's largest employers.
