A Auchan Retail Portugal has announced the opening of its first food production facility, located in Venda do Pinheiro.
This project, involving an investment of five million euros, will supply Auchan stores from north to south.
The facility, spanning approximately 1,900 square meters, has created 61 jobs in the region.
A variety of products, including soups, salads, sandwiches, wraps, ready meals, mini pizzas, and desserts, will be produced at this site.
Many of the products use ingredients sourced from local and regional producers.
“This unit represents an investment of more than five million euros, but it is much more than that: it is a clear sign of our desire to produce with more quality, more proximity, and more responsibility, by investing in our country and strengthening national production, creating jobs, and contributing to the economic development of the regions where we are present,” stated Pedro Cid, general director of Auchan Retail Portugal, in the communiqué.
