At a Board Meeting held on the 24th February, 2010, the Board of Directors  approved an investment of €14 million in a new Brewhouse, a quality control laboratory and a water treatment plant which will be completed by 2013. This is the 3rd and final phase of a total of €40 million investment in a new Soft Drinks Plant, a new Logistics Centre and now a new Brewhouse and Water Treatment Plant.

The objective of these investments has been to increase production efficiencies and continue to improve the quality of the Company's products and services.  The Company remains committed to ensuring that it is equipped with the most modern plant.

The new Brewhouse will be efficient, fully automated and versatile, leading to improved product consistency, decreased production costs and it will have sufficient capacity for the foreseeable future. In addition to solar water heating the Brewhouse will have an energy saving lighting system and a passive ventilation system.
