Kerry Invests in German Manufacturing Site

Kerry has announced a significant investment in its Wittstock breadcrumb-manufacturing site, located in northwestern Brandenburg, Heiligengrabe in Germany.

The investment includes the addition of a new crumb baking line and a warehouse extension, which will double the output volume to 48,000 tons per year. The site will also be increasing its employee base by 13% to support its new capacity levels.

Kerry has been monitoring the European coatings market and anticipates growing demand for a range of great-tasting and better-for-you solutions, including VLOG certification (non-GMO) and gluten free crumb. Kerry’s coating capability spans across categories from meal centers to appetizers and across proteins from poultry and seafood, to pork and plant protein.
