MAGNAVALE OPENS NEW CATEGORY 3 STORAGE FACILITY AT EASTON, LINCOLNSHIRE

Magnavale launches a new dedicated Category 3 frozen storage facility at its Easton site in Lincolnshire, enhancing its capacity to store and handle products not intended for human consumption compliantly. With the recent completion of Magnavale’s 101,000-pallet high-bay frozen store, capacity is now available on site to reconfigure one of the existing frozen chambers to provide a stand-alone chamber for Category 3 frozen products. With the addition of handling capabilities for non-human consumption products Magnavale Easton is one of the most comprehensive cold chain hubs in the UK.

The new Category 3 facility meets the stringent hygiene, traceability, and regulatory standards required for the handling of animal by-products under UK and EU legislation. It adds significant flexibility and resilience to Magnavale’s national network of temperature-controlled storage and value-added services infrastructure.

In addition to frozen, chilled and ambient storage, the Easton site provides a comprehensive suite of integrated cold-chain services including contract packing, container processing, date coding, and blast freezing. These services are aimed at supporting food manufacturers and processors with complex, high-volume requirements.

Magnavale continues to regenerate the Easton site, underscoring the company’s continued commitment to sustainable operations and long-term investment in the UK food supply chain.
