Lee Appleby, Factory General Manager at KP Snacks Teesside, said: “This is an exciting time for Teesside, which is KP’s biggest site employing over 700 people. The pellet plant will create over 20 new positions in a number of different roles, including production, supply chain, engineering and hygiene at both manager and team member levels. It’s a great year for this most recent investment to be taking place as Teesside celebrates its 50th birthday in 2019.”
