Cushendall Firm Ships First Container To Singapore
Glens of Antrim Crisps (GOA) based in Cushendall has shipped its first container of crisps to a supermarket chain in Singapore.
The deal with Cold Storage was secured at Food Hotel Asia in April and the retailer has since confirmed three additional orders. It builds on the company’s £650,000 capital investment earlier this year, to establish an in-house crisp manufacturing facility, creating eight additional jobs.
Michael McKillop, GOA's Sales Director, said:"The Asia Pacific region is earmarked to be the fastest growing market for savoury snacks.
"This deal with Cold Storage in Singapore is an encouraging win for the business and builds on our order to another large supermarket chain in Singapore, Smartprice, who should receive their first containers in September.
"Invest NI's support enabled us to establish an in-house crisp manufacturing facility at our Cushendall factory which is a significant component in our strategy to drive growth in our crisp range."
