Minister SMITH applauds success of irish FOOD company - 7th January 2011

Westmeath Company to recruit additional staff due to expansion of its export business   -

During his recent visit to Mr Crumb, a multi award winning speciality food manufacturer in Finea, Co Westmeath, the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, Brendan Smith TD praised the initiative consistently shown by the company since its foundation in 1996.    “Mr Crumb identified an opportunity in a category which was in decline and succeeded in growing the business year on year to a point where the company has now a state of the art factory with 47 employees and has ambitious plans to recruit an additional 20 staff in the next few months.”  The Minister added that increased food and drink exports in 2010 demonstrated the sector’s importance to net export earnings and to Irish manufacturing industry.  The Minister noted that the recent move of Mr Crumb into the French market with the launch of a range of premium handmade canapés with one of France’s leading retail chains was leading directly to a significant increase in employment. “For a company from a tiny village like Finea to be supplying canapés to the French market is a considerable achievement of which we should be proud. With its focus on export expansion, Mr. Crumb is precisely the type of indigenous Irish food company which is now driving the export led recovery of our economy” the Minister concluded.
