Hi all,
On Sunday November 30th, Taoiseach Brian Cowen and Coca-Cola Company President and Chief Executive Muhtar Kent officially marked the beginning of the construction of Coca-Cola’s new flavour manufacturing and innovation facility on the 41 acre site in the IDA Business and Technology Park in Wexford. The type of jobs that will be created will be in the areas of engineering, manufacturing and advanced process development. The company expect to create 60 jobs in a year and 100 after 5 years.
This is surely a glimmer of light and a very positive story for Wexford, Taoiseach Brian Cowen said “This €300 million investment will lead to job creation, a substantial contribution to the regional economy and is a tremendous addition to our manufacturing and technology industry base. We are delighted to welcome the company to Wexford and look forward to a long and fruitful relationship with Coca-Cola here.”
And so say all of us in Wexford!
Until next week
Imelda
