HANOVER, PA. — Kerry Group, an Irish food-and-beverage company, will open a 48,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in the Lehigh Valley city of Hanover. Kerry has leased a building that was formerly occupied by beverage maker Martin Bauer Group with plans to use the facility for coffee roasting and extraction. Kerry expects the facility to create about 60 new jobs in addition to 16 positions that will be retained from the previous operation. The opening is set for some time next year.
