HANOVER TWP., Pa. – The ribbon has been cut, and Kerry coffee is now flowing in Hanover Township.<\/p>\n
“This is a significant investment for us,” said Will Kelly, vice president of beverage taste.<\/p>\n
Kelly said the Ireland-based company’s nearly 50,000-square-foot new coffee extraction facility is a core part of its footprint in the U.S.<\/p>\n
“You know, our ambition is to grow this significantly. We have built it in a modular way, so it’s primed for expansion; it’s primed for growth,” said Kelly.<\/p>\n
The company said one billion cups of coffee will be made here.<\/p>\n
“This is a huge, huge milestone for Kerry. Look, we acquired the site in 2025, and it’s been a journey over the last 18 months to get it,” said Dan Silva, Kerry North America vice president of operations.<\/p>\n
Around 50 employees will work at this facility. Silva said the Lehigh Valley offers a unique opportunity.<\/p>\n
“Not only the facility here, but really Bethlehem has provided us with the people, technology, and capacity to deliver to our customers,” said Silva.<\/p>\n
It all comes as Kerry said it is seeing high demand.<\/p>\n
“For us, this is about bringing craft coffee at scale. Coffee is a ritual; people are precious about their coffee, you know it’s a highly personalized product, but it also is a very universal product,” said Kelly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"HANOVER TWP., Pa. – The ribbon has been cut, and Kerry coffee is now flowing in Hanover Township.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":297382,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[119,121,120,153,9598,2121,2594,122821],"class_list":["post-297381","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-allentown","tag-allentown","tag-allentown-headlines","tag-allentown-news","tag-bethlehem","tag-coffee","tag-hanover-township","tag-jobs","tag-kerry-coffee"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/297381","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=297381"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/297381\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/297382"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=297381"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=297381"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=297381"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
