Jobs To Be Lost At Britvic's Cork Operation
Around 60 jobs are to be lost following an announcement by Britvic Ireland.
The job losses will be in the company's Cork facility and will take place on a phased basis over the next 12 months.
Britvic is also to invest €7.6m in upgrading its Dublin manufacturing operation which involves moving production from the company's Cork plant.
Billy O'Regan, Managing Director, Britvic Ireland said: "Whereas the job losses proposed today are very regrettable they form part of a package of measures that will assist the ongoing growth and development of Britvic Ireland which employs over 900 staff on the island of Ireland.
"The proposal to consolidate production to a large scale, manufacturing centre in Dublin is essential for two reasons.
"Firstly, the concentration of manufacturing at an enlarged production facility delivers significant economies of scale facilitated by an immediate and necessary €7.6m capital investment.
"Secondly, existing production lines at the Cork plant would require heavy investment to meet future requirements," he said.
The top executive also said: "I would like to acknowledge the exemplary service of our Cork staff over many years. Over the coming days and weeks, we will consult with staff in Cork regarding plans for the phased transfer of production to Dublin.
"As a management team we are committed to assisting our Cork staff in identifying alternative employment and to providing appropriate outplacement support, as well as advice on issues such as pensions and financial planning", Mr O’Regan said.
The Cork plant is located at Little Island, outside Cork city.
