Haigh’s Chocolates has released the design of their future $130 million Salisbury South manufacturing facility.
The development which will break ground later this month, is the single largest infrastructure investment in the iconic South Australian family-owned business history.
Chief Executive Alister Haigh says the project represents a significant milestone for Haigh’s, as it will see their current chocolate production capacity double, allowing them to meet increased demand and interstate growth opportunities, including entering new markets.
Expected to be in full operation in 2025, the facility will accommodate 400 employees throughout the growth phase, including the creation of around 150 new jobs.
CIP Constructions have been appointed to oversee the development of the 36,000 m² site. They will engage over 200 people to support the construction of the building designed by BELL Architects.
Haigh’s has grown substantially over its 108-year history and currently employs more than 800 people.
Haigh’s produces 1000 tonnes of chocolate annually across two existing manufacturing sites in Mile End and Parkside, which will remain the company headquarters.
There are currently 21 Haigh’s stores across Adelaide, Sydney, Melbourne, and Canberra, as well as online.
