The former BOSE Facility in Carrickmacross is set to hit the market in the coming weeks.
The confirmation today to Northern Sound follows a meeting facilitated by Minister Niamh Smyth with Enterprise Ireland officials along with her colleague Cathaoirleach of Monaghan County Council, Cllr PJ O'Hanlon.
Minister Smyth said the focus of last week's meeting in her department with officials was to ensure that all support is given from the department to find a new owner for the former Bose facility in South Monaghan. Cllr O'Hanlon and the local minister met with Interim CEO Kevin Sherry and Mark Christal who is Head of Food and Sustainability.
The factory was officially opened in 2019 and was supported by Enterprise Ireland as they sought to establish an infant formula and nutrition powders manufacturer. That business never opened due to the being no longer viable due to inflation.
Cllr PJ O'Hanlon thanked Minister Niamh Smyth for facilitating this vital meeting, adding that his factory has been closed for 6 years and we need to see it reopen for the betterment of Carrickmacross. He said it's great to finally have clarity on this long running issue due and we are now in a better position that we were when we were writing letters and getting ignored.
