Diageo today announced plans to invest €153m in a brewing centre of excellence at St James’s Gate, Dublin, that it said would form part of a wholesale rejuvenation of the iconic site.
Guinness appears to be sticking to its roots with the announcement
today by parent company Diageo of a significant investment to step
up production as its Dublin-based St. James's Gate brewery.
Having closed its Irish Glass Bottle Company with the loss of 375
jobs earlier this year, Ardagh has reported an operating profit
from its continuing operations of €14.6 million in the first half.
Growing demand for Guinness Stout on export markets has prompted
Guinness UDV to invest €38m in expanding production of the brand's
secret ingredient at its Waterford brewery.
