Kinisla, formerly known as Kerry Dairy Ireland, has announced a €300 million investment over the next five years.
At today’s brand relaunch, chief executive Pat Murphy said the company will invest in areas with the strongest growth potential: nutritional ingredients and milk protein manufacturing.
Management also plans to strengthen its consumer foods snacking division and reduce the company’s carbon footprint.
Mr Murphy said Kinisla expects to create 100 new jobs within two years, while maintaining a strong milk price for dairy farmers.
