Published 4/5/2009

Kerry Group opened its $60 million Technical Center of Excellence in early spring of 2009 in Beloit, Wis. The innovation center houses application suites, research and development labs, culinary facilities, and a commercialization center for Kerry Group’s food ingredient and flavor customers. The project was constructed by Gilbane Building Company of Milwaukee and features an energy-efficient design that is expected to result in an annual energy cost reduction of 22 percent compared to conventional construction. Sustainable design elements include a reflective roof, high performance mechanical systems, ample natural lighting, and an insulated building shell. Kerry Group is based in Tralee, Ireland.
