CHARLOTTE, NC - International expansion is reportedly in the works for Dole Food Company, as the producer has unveiled the start of a pre-planning process for a new €50 million (over $55 million USD) project. Through this investment, the company aims to open a major facility site close to Balbriggan in Dublin, Ireland.
The new facility will be a state-of-the-art food-processing and distribution campus and will create 400 jobs. According to Independent.ie, the entire 73-hectare Courtlough site—13 hectares of which has already been developed—straddles both sides of the M1 south of Balbriggan.
This expansion is an addition to the recent growth we have seen from Dole Food Company, including the launch of five new DOLE ® Chopped Salad Kits as well as the release of a new golden pineapple in response to the heightening consumer demand for a sweeter pineapple-eating experience.
ANUK will keep a close watch to see how Dole Food Company further bolsters its international footprint, so keep reading for the latest and greatest updates.
