Ireland's Valeo Foods has completed an EUR7m (US$7.8m) upgrade of its Cabra manufacturing facility in west Dublin.
The investment has seen a production line added that has resulted in the manufacturing, production and packaging of Chef sauces and Fruitfield jams return to Ireland. A spokesperson for the company told just-food production had previously been in southern Europe but would not disclose where or if this was its own site.

"Valeo Foods already had a very significant manufacturing facility in Cabra, and following significant investment in this facility, dramatically improving the efficiency of the operations and making it a best-in-class international site, it made commercial sense to bring production back to Ireland," said the spokesperson.
Oliver Sutherland, chief commercial officer at Valeo Foods, said: "Through our continued focus on innovation and new product development, we look forward to growing our manufacturing output in Ireland and further supporting the local economy and Irish suppliers."
