The project has been supported financially by the Department of Jobs, through Enterprise Ireland.

Commenting on the new facility, Phillip Reynolds, CEO of C&D Foods, said: "This announcement following so soon off the back of our €40 million investment in 2007 increases our capacity to supply our wider European

customer base following our acquisition of Arovit A/S in 2012.

"It is further evidence of the success and strength of our Edgeworthstown facility and its significance as part of our European manufacturing footprint."
