At its abattoir at Bridge of Allan, near Stirling in central Scotland, Scotbeef slaughters over 80,000 head of cattle each year, supplying beef to a range of UK retailers, including Marks and Spencer, Sainsbury’s and The Co-operative Group.
Since the lifting of the beef export ban last May, Scotbeef has re-kindled many of its markets in Belgium, Holland, France and Italy.
The addition of the new processing and packing plant means Scotbeef can take a prime animal right the way from slaughter to point-of-sale packed and labelled cuts or ready meals.
Peter Alexander, Scottish Beef Cattle Association vice chairman, said: “We’re delighted that the Galloway family, which owns Scotbeef, has made another major investment in the Scottish livestock industry.
