World: Kerry opens Regional Development & Application Centre in Durban, South Africa

The new Kerry Regional Development & Application Centre opened in Durban, South Africa to help expand Kerry’s presence in Africa, capitalizing on sectoral growth opportunities in Sub Saharan Africa and meeting customer requirements, according to Stan McCarthy, Kerry group chief executive.

“With over €1 billion (US$1.37 billion) Kerry Group revenue in developing markets, we are firmly focused on our developing markets growth strategy,” said McCarthy.

“Our customers are significantly broadening their presence in such fast growing markets – hence the strategic importance of our new center in Durban, which will support the day-to-day requirements of Kerry customers in Sub Saharan Africa.”

“The new center will work closely with the Group’s Global Technology & Innovation Centre for EMEA markets that is currently under construction in Ireland.”
