Job hopes as leading Monaghan food producer lodges plans for second major expansion in 18 months
Greenfield Foods Ltd employs in the region of 100 people at its purpose built premises on the outskirts of Smithborough. Company bosses want to add a single storey extension to the rear of its premises to also include an additional loading area. The plans also provide for a single storey detached package storage building and pallet storage equivalent. Those deigns come hot on the heels of planning approval it received in May for two extensions it had lodged the previous February. They provided for a single storey extension to the rear of its existing facility to introduce additional loading and storage areas. The second part of the company's development plans comprised moves to develop a two storey extension to the front and side of its main offices. The firm stated the plans were being devised to provide additional office and storage space. In its ruling, Monaghan County Council approved the submission on the proviso seven conditions are complied with. The planned development is not the first time Ireland's largest egg packing centre has been the subject of extensive expansion plans. The company's packing centre was originally developed in 1998 and further extended in 2005 with the operation now accounting for 45pc of all eggs produced under the Bord Bia Quality Assurance standard nationwide. In 2011, the packing centre was further refurbished, resulting in the replacement of grading equipment with the newest technology available, including automatic dirt, crack and inclusion detection. A decision on the company's latest expansionary plans is expected to be made on or before August 4.
