Kerry has signed a long-term lease agreement with Expo City Dubai to establish its new Regional Customer Co-Creation Centre.
The new Kerry facility will serve as a regional centre for research, development and applications.
"Our partnership with Expo City Dubai marks an exciting milestone for Kerry as we continue to expand our presence and capabilities across the Middle East," said Peter Dillane, President and CEO of Kerry APMEA.
"We are deeply grateful to Her Excellency Reem Al Hashimy, UAE Minister of State for International Cooperation and CEO of Expo City Dubai Authority, for her vision in positioning Expo City as a platform for world-class research and innovation, and to Ambassador of Ireland to UAE, Alison Milton and Minister for Enterprise, Tourism and Employment of Ireland, Peter Burke, for their leadership in strengthening economic ties and championing investment in food technology," he added.
Kerry said the new Expo City facility is designed to elevate customer collaboration and accelerate the development of sustainable, nutritious and market-leading innovation.
