Seeka will build and commission a new kiwifruit packing machine in Te Puke, replacing a 25-year-old machine in the process.
An additional 650,000 static trays of cool storage will be constructed at the adjacent Transcool site by demolishing a smaller cool store.
Seeka forecasts the total investment for the MAF RODA packing machine and cool store to be $20 million, they announced in a statement.
The packing machine will be built in the KKP packhouse situated at Maketu Corner, Te Puke.
"The company expects the MAF RODA to deliver significant production efficiencies and a commensurate increase in total trays packed," Seeka said.
