Extending Our Reach from the UK into Ireland
SmartParc is actively exploring opportunities to establish its first location in Ireland, building on the country's reputation as one of Europe's leading food and beverage producers.
We are currently assessing a range of potential sites, considering factors including land availability, workforce accessibility, infrastructure connectivity and alignment with regional economic development objectives.
Alongside these considerations, we are evaluating regional food manufacturing clusters and supply chains to ensure any future development complements local industry needs and supports long-term growth.
Ireland's world-leading food and drink sector, strong export performance and highly skilled workforce make it a natural location for future SmartParc investment. We look forward to identifying the right location and working with industry, government and local partners to support the next generation of sustainable food manufacturing and logistics infrastructure.
We believe Ireland offers a compelling environment for the SmartParc model, and we look forward to announcing further details as our site assessment process progresses.
