GERMAN officials have visited a successful Teesside factory - hoping to persuade the firm to open an operation in their town.
The Mayor of Redcar and Cleveland Council, Councillor Vilma Collins, led the group from Spree Niesser, Brandenburg, around Britannia Biscuits, which opened at South Tees Food Park, South Bank, at Christmas.
The firm employs 100 people, but hopes to double that.
Bari Chohan, of Chohan Corporation, which was involved in establishing the South Bank factory, said that Britannia had included a site in Brandenburg on its shortlist before selecting South Bank.
