“AllinAll Ingredients has been at the forefront of innovation in the food sector and the investment in this new state of the art facility should help the company to expand into more new markets in the years ahead.

“The new facility, located beside Dublin Airport, will also welcome international food scientists seeking to make improvements, innovations and develop products of the future.

“The Government is prioritising research and development through Innovation 2020, our strategy for R&D, science and innovation and we recently launched a new €500m disruptive technologies to drive innovation and build new markets for Irish businesses. I wish all of the staff at AllinAll Ingredients the very best with this exciting new venture.”
