Based in Listowel, Ireland, the Kerry Group announced the opening of a $22 million factory in Tumkur, 75 miles north of Bangalore in India. The new, 437,000 square feet facility — the Group’s fourth significant investment in India — will serve Kerry Taste & Nutrition’s global and regional customers in the South West Asia region.
“The investment serves as a welcome vote of confidence in India, and further supports growing business relations and bilateral trade between the two countries,” said Irish Ambassador to India, Brian McElduff.
Scott Scharinger, vice president for South West Asia said, “Our Tumkur facility will enable Kerry to offer a broader range of technologies, and more comprehensive scientific research and innovation, and application expertise across Kerry’s Taste & Beverage Systems.”
The facility supports sustainable production. Utilities make use of solar power, and the plant is equipped with energy efficient LED technology and maximizes natural light to reduce energy consumption. Water harvesting measures reduce water intake, and waste water is treated and re-used on site to achieve zero liquid discharge. Other waste is segregated and sent for recycling and recovery of resources.
