Fife Creamery, Kirkcaldy

Forster Group completed a major installation for Fife Creamery in 2024, marking the company’s biggest project to date for a client in the food and drink industry. Following an investment of £230,000, Fife Creamery appointed Forster Group to install over 700 roof-mounted solar panels for its Innovation Hub and refrigeration warehouse in Kirkcaldy.

To support Fife Creamery in achieving its ambitious sustainability goals, Forster Group installed an energy storage battery at the firm’s Innovation Hub, as well as providing infrastructure to allow for additional battery storage in the future.David Simpson, Operations Director at Fife Creamery, said:

“We are an independent, family-owned business and chose to invest over £200,000 to support our broader sustainability strategy. With a high proportion of energy used for refrigeration, we were determined to secure the largest solar installation we could, ensuring that the renewable energy generated would directly offset our substantial energy consumption. It’s incredibly exciting to already be seeing positive results.”Forster Group completed the first phase of the project in May 2024 which saw panels installed on the company’s Innovation Hub.

Completion and commissioning of the second, and bigger phase, on the warehouse took place in July.
