Sysco Ireland gives update on growth strategy

​Sysco Ireland, Ireland’s largest foodservice specialist, has announced that its growth strategy is advancing at pace as it gives an update on its investment in the mid-west and north of the island. 

The company is investing £23m in the development of a state-of-the-art distribution facility at Nutt’s Corner, County Antrim.  Due for completion in the first half of 2025, the new facility will initially employ 200 people locally, rising to more than 300 throughout its first year.

Meanwhile, in September, Minister of State Patrick O’Donovan officially opened Sysco Limerick following a major refurbishment of the company’s mid-west hub.

The culmination of two years’ work, at an investment of €2.6m, the upgrade has seen the Limerick site transformed into a modern facility specifically designed to meet growing industry demands across the region. 

Renovation work to enhance the site includes the creation of contemporary office spaces, a state-of-the-art development kitchen, extended warehouse space, as well as updated canteen and gym facilities designed and built to meet the company’s sustainability ambitions. 

Sysco Ireland offers a range of over 10,000 food products with 70% sourced locally across the island, with guaranteed next day delivery.

Mark Lee, Chief Executive Officer, Sysco Ireland commented: “These projects form part of Sysco’s wider growth strategy, which with continued investment in our offering, innovation and people, has helped to establish the business as the leading foodservice provider on the island of Ireland.”
