The latest investment is expected to create around 35 jobs at the facility, which employs around 190 staff on a full-time basis.
A spokesperson for Largo Foods told just-food that the investment will be used to make “innovative better-for-you snacks both for the Irish and export markets”.
“Approximately 70% of what Largo Foods makes in Donegal is exported, principally to the UK,” said Largo Foods CEO Ray Coyle. “Our strategy is to continue to invest in R&D and high-value products to allow us to increase efficiencies, sustain and grow the business in Gaoth Dobhair.”
