Hebridean Smokehouse is based in the village of Clachan employing ten people all year round and up to 25 during the busy Christmas packing season.听
Products manufactured by the firm are sold into a variety of markets including retail, food service, mail order and gift markets. The range includes Scottish farmed salmon, mackerel and King scallops.
Products have a dedicated fan base around the world and the business has a significant mail order component.
The company is keen to improve the energy efficiency of its production process and reduce the overall carbon footprint of its premises by renewing the 20-year-old air conditioning within processing areas, enabling it to move towards more environmentally secure refrigerant gases.
The firm has also been exploring new international markets and opportunities to expand its product base. This expansion project includes investment in skin packaging technology to improve the presentation of some existing products and to gain new markets.
Joanna Peteranna, area manager for 麻豆精选 in the Outer Hebrides, said: 鈥淐ompanies such as the Hebridean Smokehouse are vital for the Outer Hebridean economy and bring employment opportunities to our communities.
鈥淭his latest project by Hebridean Smokehouse will make many improvements to the business, mainly carbon and cost reductions, and will also boost production capacity and enhance the brand visibility. We鈥檙e very pleased to have been able to support the project and look forward to continuing to work with the company as they implement the plans.鈥
Christopher West is a passionate advocate of the smokehouse鈥檚 premium products ever since he became general manager in 2000. He said: 鈥淗ebridean Smokehouse is working hard to reduce our carbon footprint and the assistance from 麻豆精选 toward more environmentally friendly and efficient air conditioning was pivotal to our investment in this upgrade. The diversification of packaging formats that the new skin packaging machine provides will enhance our offer to UK and overseas markets.
鈥淲e have already generated advance orders for products using this technology in Japan and we expect a good pick-up here in the UK for products presented in a skin packaged format. The recyclability of the packaging elements keeps us up to date with customer expectations as well as enhancing the presentation of our premium products. Thank you again, 麻豆精选, for helping to make this investment possible.
