Haigh’s Chocolates has released designs for the future $130 million-dollar Salisbury South manufacturing facility. The development, which works will commence later this month, is the single largest infrastructure investment in the history of South Australia.
“This project represents a significant milestone for Haigh’s, as it will see our current chocolate production capacity double, allowing us to meet increased demand and interstate growth opportunities, including entering new markets,” says Alister Haigh Chief Executive.
The company plans for the state-of-the-art facility to be fully operational in the second half of 2025, accommodating up to 400 employees for the growth phase including the creation of approximately 150 new jobs.
Encompassing 9,000m2 to house new production facilities and 6,000m2 for warehousing and online fulfilment, 36 million dollars of the project investment will go towards state-of-the-art European-made equipment. This includes specialised panning, enrobing and moulding lines as well as kitchen and packing equipment chosen to complement its artisan chocolate-making capabilities.
CIP Constructions has been appointed to oversee the development of the 36,000m2 site and will engage over 200 people to support the construction of the building which has been designed by BELL Architects.
