New Irish Biscuit Firm To Be Set Up In Drogheda
A new Irish biscuit company, East Coast Bakehouse, is to invest €15m in a new large scale commercial biscuit manufacturing facility located on Ireland's east coast in Drogheda. The investment will create 100 jobs.
The project will transform a recently renovated 50,000 sq.ft. food production facility at Donore Rd business park in Drogheda, Co. Louth into a state-of-the-art bakehouse, innovation facility, warehouse and offices. The building is ideally suited to its new purpose with ample space to house the long production lines required for efficient biscuit baking, complete with suspended product cooling lines.
The domestic biscuit industry is worth €170m, and the UK market is valued at over €2bn. The East Coast Bakehouse will produce its own new brand and will also manufacture retail private label, serving both the domestic and export markets.
The project is supported by the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation through Enterprise Ireland.
