Manufacturing-Food-Products-in-IrelandThe food industry in Ireland

The food industry in Ireland is among the most developed industries. The Irish food industry remits a 25 billion euro annual turnover to the country’s economy and accounts for approximately 250,000 jobs. Also about 10 billion euro worth food and drink products are exported every year by Irish companies. The Irish food industry has undergone important changes and food manufacturers operate in modern and sophisticated premises nowadays. Also, considering Ireland is the largest exporter of dairy products and meat in Europe, many foreign investors are encouraged to set up food companies in the country.

Starting a food company in Ireland

In order to manufacture food products in Ireland, companies must obtain certain approvals depending on the food products to be manufactured. The approval must be obtained before starting operating with the relevant authorities. Among the types of Irish companies manufacturing food products are slaughterhouses, meat processers and producers of other types of foodstuff. The approval is granted based on business plan, premises and waste management. Once the food business is approved, the company will receive an unique approval number which must appear on the products’ packages or labels.

Our specialists in company formation in Ireland will guide you through the company registration procedure. There are various steps to complete if you want to set up a company in Ireland. The first one is ensuring you have a correct and well-chosen trading name. It must be unique and must also provide information on the activity of the company, if possible.
