Green Isle Foods Announce 115 New Jobs In Ireland
Longford Green Isle Foods, a leading Consumer Foods company has announced that the company will make a significant investment of €30m across its operations in Ireland which will result in an additional 115 jobs over the next 5 years.
The investment programme, supported by the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation through Enterprise Ireland, was approved by Cabinet this morning and will position the company for future growth in Ireland and overseas.
As a result of this investment, an additional 50 jobs will be created at the company’s pizza production facility in Longford and an additional 65 jobs in its pastry production plant in Portumna. Further growth will be supported across its operations following on from today’s announcement. This investment also secures the jobs of the 700 people currently employed by Green Isle.
Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Richard Bruton TD said: "Food is a sector where Irish companies have built strengths and grown export markets over many years. This is also a sector which provides employment in towns and villages right across the country, and that is why we targeted this area for particular support as part of our Action Plan for Jobs.
"Today's announcement that, with the support of my Department through Enterprise Ireland, Green Isle is creating 115 jobs in its plants is great news for Longford, Portumna and for the whole country. In the past three years we have seen major progress in employment across the country and I am confident that, if we continue implementing our plan, we can see sustained jobs growth in the coming years."
