 | | TAKING A SLICE OF NEW MARKETS | | | Macsween | | 21/11/2007 | | | In the absence of a national holiday, St Andrew’s day can still be celebrated in true Scottish style. Nationwide bakery chain Greggs and Macsween, the haggis specialist, have created a tasty twist on Scotland’s national dish; which is set to rival the Scotch Pie.
Made with Greggs’ special scotch pie shell, the finest Macsween haggis from Edinburgh and topped with creamy mashed tatties; the tasty Scottish delicacy will allow people across Scotland to celebrate St Andrews day for a mere 89p.
Thanks to a new slicer [Treif Puma CE] with an out-feed conveyor, Macsween was able to produce vast quantities of haggis portions within a short timescale that perfectly fitted the Greggs pie shell.
Having branched out into producing sliced haggis, Macsween has also invested in a state of the art metal detector, Loma IQ3 – the newest on the market. With variable frequency detection, the Loma 1Q3 will enable Macsween to produce a variety of products, from Greggs pies to small retail packs.
Commenting on this additional capability, James Macsween said: “We are now able to produce at least 200 slices per minute, with an accuracy of 1 mm. Sourcing the slicer couldn’t have been easier, thanks to a fantastic website called Buy it, Sell it, Want it.
“We have never done slicing of this nature before, and hope that it will be a great enabler in tackling new markets.”
The Haggis Pie will be available in all of the 165 Greggs stores across Scotland from the 26th November until the 1st December. | |
