Crust & Crumb to create 120 new jobs Ballyconnell. Crust & Crumb, is to double the size of its production facility in Co Cavan, creating 120 new jobs allowing it to grow to support its continued business expansion with the retailer.
The new €12.5m production facility in Ballyconnell will increase the site capacity from 40,000 to 80,000 sq. foot. Indeed, this will allow it to diversify and expand its range of products. The expansion will include five new premium pizza varieties recently created for Tesco.
282 people currently employed at the Co Cavan facility. Furthermore, a further 120 jobs will be added once the new build is completed later this year.
The partnership between Tesco and Crust & Crumb began five years ago when the retailer looked to bring production of its pizza range to Ireland; and it continues to flourish with a 35% year-on-year volume growth in 2024. Moreover, the annual contract is now worth over €10 million.
