Linden Foods to create 85 jobs in Tyrone
by Jacqueline Purse - 20/01/2011
"Linden Food are to create 85 jobs in a new £10m facility in Dungannon, Co Tyrone. "
The jobs will be created over the next three years and will bring the number of people employed by Linden to 520.
Linden Foods was estabished in 1998 and has a turnover in excess of £300m.
Invest NI has also offered £497,000 to the project, which was part funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
Linden Foods anticipates the investment in the new facilities will increase sales by 32%, most of which will be in markets outside Northern Ireland.
Gerry Maguire, Managing Director of Linden Foods, said: “This new facility, which includes a dedicated development kitchen where new recipes can be trialled and crafted, is the next natural step for the company’s growth and will allow us to bolster our position as market leader.”
Trevor Lockhart, Chairman of Linden Foods, added: “This plant represents a significant investment by Linden Foods in our business in Ireland and underlines our commitment to both our customers and employees.”
Speaking after the opening, Enterprise Minister Arlene Foster said: “These new facilities strengthen Linden Foods’ ability to increase productivity and expand its activity on new product development, both essential elements for future growth.
“The food industry is a key contributor to Northern Ireland’s economy and one that has shown an impressive resilience to the economic downturn, better than virtually every other sector."
