New carton machine at IoM Creamery is go

Isle of Man Creamery's new milk carton production line has gone live.

After 12 months of planning, a trip across Europe from its Italian manufacturers and £800,000 later, the new machine arrived safely at its new home in Tromode, where it's being put to work, with the new cartons due to go on sale from Monday.

The machine enables the creamery to introduce a resealable screw cap to its one-pint cartons.

Two new pack sizes will also be introduced: a 189ml carton for the snacking and sandwich market and a 950ml carton for families that will be sold across the Island for £1.

Reportedly, the new cartons will all keep the milk fresher for longer.

Managing Director Findlay Macleod says the investment in the new machinery is more than just an upgrade, it is a clear sign of the creamery's commitment to its most important consumers.
