The money will be used to increase capacity and establish a more efficient and sustainable process at the facility.
Kepak is investing €8 million in its Westmeath facility.
It's hoped the significant funding will position the Kilbeggan plant as a central hub for exporting Irish meat, and will enhance market access, quality and efficiency.
It will focus on increasing capacity, and establishing a more efficient and sustainable process flow at the site.
The money forms part of a national €28 million investment, and was officially marked by Enterprise Minister, Longford Westmeath TD, Peter Burke, and Agriculture Minister, Charlie McConalogue today.
The Kilbeggan plant employs 86 people.
Simon Walker, Kepak CEO, commented: "This investment in Kepak Kilbeggan reinforces our commitment to the Agri community and to sustainable growth.
By enhancing our facilities, we’re ensuring market diversification, export growth, and long-term business development for Kepak."
Minister Burke said: "I wish to congratulate Kepak on its new, upgraded state-of-the-art facility at Kilbeggan, a strategic investment which was supported by the Government’s Capital Investment Scheme.
The upgraded facility is a significant milestone in Kepak’s impressive business journey and will empower it to continue to grow globally, while making a local impact as a key employer in the Westmeath and Longford region."
