Description
Pizza maker Crust & Crumb is to create 120 new jobs in county Cavan, as it doubles the size of its production facility there.
The new facility will be completed in 2025 and the new jobs will come on stream this year.
Crust & Crumb has supplied pizzas to supermarket chain Tesco for the past five years, since the retailer looked to bring production of its pizza range to Ireland. It saw 35% year-on-year volume growth in 2024 and the annual contract is now worth over €10 million.
The company currently employs 282 people at the County Cavan facility.
