Glasgow-based ACE Refrigeration has won a six-figure contract to supply refrigeration equipment for a new factory extension of the Dingwall-based salmon processor, Edinburgh Salmon Company.
ACE Refrigeration will begin work on the new 1750m2 extension on 23 April 2012 in a deal worth £170,000.
Edinburgh Salmon Company is undertaking the expansion to cope with an increased demand for its smoked, cooked and fresh salmon and trout, with the company having a turnover in excess of £30 million while employing around 300 staff making it one of the substantial employers in the area.
Shane McKenzie, sales director of ACE Refrigeration, said: “We are pleased to support Edinburgh Salmon Company with its expansion on the back of increased demand and look forward to undertaking the work and helping to the company with its continued growth.”
The refrigeration and air conditioning specialist will carry out the project with Thomson & Partners, a multi-disciplined consulting engineering practice based in Edinburgh and the Inverness-based, McGregor Construction Ltd.
Edinburgh Salmon Company won first place in the Meat and Fish category, ASDA Supplier of the year 2011. The organisation manufactures a range of salmon products and supplies a wide customer base throughout the UK and beyond.
