The Tofoo Co. Starts Work on Malton Plant Built to Support £73M in Sales

The Tofoo Co., a UK tofu producer, has begun construction on a new manufacturing facility at Malton Enterprise Park in North Yorkshire. The purpose-built site is designed to support sales of £73 million and production volumes of over 10,000 tonnes of tofu by 2033. The investment is backed by HSBC UK, the company’s existing shareholders, its management team, and Comitis Capital, the German investment firm that acquired The Tofoo Co. in 2024.

The new plant will offer twice the production capacity and 3.5 times the productive space of the company's current leased buildings in Malton, which are set to expire in 2028. The facility will include a development kitchen, pilot plant for product trials, and space for future product lines. The Tofoo Co. plans to use on-site solar generation, heat recovery, and wastewater reduction, with plans for full effluent treatment and apprenticeship schemes at the site.
