Description
Premier Is is a Danish ice-cream dairy operating since 1933; in 2017, it bought its Danish competitor "Hjem Is", and decided to re-organize its plants footprint. More specifically, production activities earlier widespread among Denmark, Germany, Ireland, Sweden, Slovenia and Poland were concentrated in the home country. Manufacturing relocation has been realized to ensure food quality and safety. The relocation decision increased employees in the Danish plant (located in Thisted) by around 20%.
