The global packaging supply chain solutions company Zeus plans to create 40 jobs with the opening of a new logistics facility in Watergrasshill in Cork.
The 70,000 square feet facility is on course to start operations in April.
The jobs will be in the areas of logistics, distribution, commercial and administration and will come on stream over the next 18 months, the company said.
The new site is part of Zeus's national logistics and distribution strategy, with four key facilities to be positioned throughout the island.
Zeus recently acquired Polish company Polpack contributing to a revenue boost of €75m in the last year through acquisitions.
"As Zeus has expanded organically through strategic acquisition, we now need to future-proof our operational capacity and capability in line with both customer expectation and company growth," Adrian Lannon, Chief Operations Officer of Zeus, said.
"Today’s announcement forms part of a wider strategy to enhance service levels throughout Ireland while increasing operational efficiencies," he added.
Zeus founder Brian O’Sullivan said the opening of the new facility was of particular significance to him given that he grew up in east Cork.
"This will greatly improve our capability within the region, create new jobs, deliver a better work life balance for our colleagues and importantly, deliver greater service options to our customers," he said.
