AAK Secures £2M Freeport Backing to Expand Plant-Based Oils Capacity in Hull

AAK is expanding its plant-based oils production capacity at its Hull site in the UK, with £2 million in funding from Humber Freeport's seed capital fund. The investment is part of a larger capital program at the site, which produces oils for various industries. The expansion will create new business opportunities in the region and safeguard existing operations, contributing to the economy.

The investment in the Hull site is one of the largest in AAK's recent history, enabling the company to diversify its plant-based oils range and markets served. The expansion is also expected to reduce carbon emissions intensity, contributing to sustainability goals. Humber Freeport's support during the feasibility stage of the project has been essential in moving the expansion forward quickly and confidently, demonstrating a shared vision for the future of the site.
