CORK, IRELAND, MAY 26th, 2023— dōTERRA, the world leader in essential oils, today (May 26th) announced the official opening of its Cork manufacturing facility at an onsite event. Located in the northern suburbs of Cork, Ireland, this is dōTERRA’s first manufacturing facility of its kind to be developed outside of the United States.
The facility serves as dōTERRA’s European manufacturing headquarters, distributing dōTERRA products to the European marketplace and increasing capacity for other international markets including the Middle East and Africa. Greg Cook, dōTERRA Co-Founder and Board Chair, and Ireland’s Finance Minister, Michael McGrath TD, spoke at the event and presided over the unveiling of a commemorative plaque to celebrate the occasion.
The facility currently employs 65 highly skilled and trained staff and produces 10,000,000 bottles of essential oil each year. As production increases, the company will grow its staff in quality control, supply chain management, finance, legal, and HR, with the ability to increase to 100 team members over time.

Minister for Finance Michael McGrath TD said “I am delighted to be here in Blarney this morning to officially open this fantastic new manufacturing facility for dōTERRA. By investing over €12 million in this facility in Cork, it shows a real vote of confidence by dōTERRA in Ireland as the location for its European manufacturing headquarters. Foreign Direct Investment is a very important element of the Irish economy, and through the work of IDA Ireland, we continue to win investment and jobs across all regions of the country. I want to thank doTERRA for choosing Ireland and wish them every success as they expand further into Europe.”
“Our new facility demonstrates dōTERRA’s long-term vision and commitment to supporting our growing customer base throughout Europe and surrounding markets,” said Greg Cook, dōTERRA Co-Founder and Board Chair. “Our presence in Ireland has created employment opportunities for skilled workers, improved our ability to respond to our customers’ needs, and dramatically reduced our environmental impact.”
