The Coca-Cola company is to submit a planning application for a combined €190m manufacturing and innovation facility on a 41-acre site on the Wexford Business Park.
The proposed investment would include manufacturing, laboratory and pilot plant facilities to enagle process development and product commercialisation. Some of the E190m would also be allocated to research and development activities.
It is expected that the facility will create about 60 jobs after a year and over 100 after five years of operation. A number of jobs will also be created in the construction phase of the development.
