Robert Roberts backs Irish firms

TALLAGHT: Robert Roberts, one of Ireland’s oldest businesses, has announced deals worth almost €1m with local suppliers.

The deals are part of a programme by the company to bring back business such as the printing and production of packaging that it had outsourced to other countries during the boom years. Further announcements of business repatriated back to Ireland are expected in the near future.

“We have always roasted our coffee and blended our teas here in Dublin,” , said Ken Maguire, Production Director at Robert Roberts.
