IFP appointed to deliver new production facility for CNP Professional

Integrated Food Projects have been appointed as Project Managers to deliver a new production facility for CNP Professional, the Manchester based company who are world leaders in Sports Nutrition. CNP Professional is a brand chosen by top athletes in boxing, rugby, football, body-building, power lifting and is also used as part of an overall training and fitness regime by several Premiership football teams, Premiership rugby teams and many Team GB Olympic athletes.

The new facility, which will create new jobs for the local area, will enable CNP Professional to manufacture their product range, most of which is currently manufactured in the United States. Processes will be transferred from the USA with production due to commence in the new facility from early 2010.

The project is being supported by a grant from the Northwest Development Agency, which IFP played a key role in securing for CNP Professional.

The production equipment is currently being specified and discussions are taking place with several UK equipment suppliers.

A site for the new production and head office facility has been chosen and will be located in Hyde on the east side of Manchester, close to the companies existing Denton operation.

By relocating manufacturing from the USA to the UK it will enable CNP Professional to improve control of the manufacturing processes and in turn improve the quality of the products whilst providing a facility that will give greater opportunities for product development through expansion of the CNP Professional product range.

The creation of this facility requires a fast track delivery solution and CNP Professional have engaged IFP to manage the requirements of both the building and the equipment so that CNP Professional can take delivery of a fully operational plant.
