More than 70 new jobs have been created since Quinn Industrial Holdings took control of the Construction Industry Supply (CIS) and Packaging businesses of the former Quinn Group last December, the company says.

The CIS business has its roots in what was the original business of the Quinn Group which was founded by Seán Quinn in 1973. The company’s manufacturing facilities are in Fermanagh and Cavan with a distribution facility in Rochester, Kent, which handles bulk cement export to Britain.

Quinn Packaging is one of the largest food packaging manufacturing operations in Ireland and Britain. Managing director Liam McCaffrey said he expected jobs announcements and investment in the coming months.
