Ornua creating 65 new jobs with the opening of its new facility
Ornua has just opened its new butter and packaging facility in Mitchelstown, Co. Cork, creating 65 new jobs.
“Kerrygold Park” will produced up to 50,000 tonnes of butter per annum and will initially employ 65 people.
The move comes as part of a plan to grow Kerrygold’s export sales from €750 million per year to over €1 billion.
The factory will have the capabilities to produce new butter products and formats not currently available in Ireland.
Ornua chief executive Kevin Lane said:
“Kerrygold Park is core to our ambitious plans to develop the Kerrygold brand from a butter brand to a dairy brand.
“Not only will the new facility significantly enhance our production, it also greatly improves our innovation capability and our ability to deliver premium dairy products to consumers around the world.”
