Canto creates 50 jobs, bolsters remit of innovation hub in Cork
Fifty jobs are to be created in Cork as Canto, a provider of digital asset management (DAM) software, establishing a European hub for advanced AI research, cloud infrastructure optimisation, frontend modernisation, and the continued development of Canto’s unified DAM and product information management (PIM) platform.
The announcement follows a period of substantial growth for Canto. The company currently serves approximately 4,000 customers globally across industries including retail, manufacturing, healthcare, education, technology, and beyond.
“As we continue to expand our global engineering efforts, Ireland is proving to be an essential part of our success story. Our continued expansion underscores our confidence in the exceptional technical talent and innovation ecosystem here,” said Wain Kellum, CEO of Canto. “As demand for our single-source-of-truth digital asset management solutions continues to accelerate, our Cork operations will play a pivotal role in driving next-generation product development and supporting customers across the entire content ecosystem – from creation to delivery.”
“This investment reflects our commitment to staying ahead of the curve in digital asset management,” said Brendan Butler, managing director, Canto Ireland. “Working with IDA Ireland has been instrumental in making this expansion possible. By connecting with Ireland’s world-class technology community, we’re able to accelerate the development of solutions that directly address our customers’ most pressing content management challenges.”
CEO of IDA Ireland Michael Lohan said: “Canto’s decision to grow its presence in Cork is a strong endorsement of the country’s reputation as a leading hub for innovative technology companies. Our deep talent pool, stable business environment, and strong track record in supporting global companies make Ireland an attractive location for growth and innovation.”
Canto’s expanded global operations support its worldwide customer base and builds on the company’s strategic acquisitions, including MerlinOne in 2023, which enhanced its AI-powered visual search capabilities, and Image Relay in 2024, which led to Canto’s industry-leading unified DAM and PIM solution.
The company also plans to partner with local universities and research institutions to foster innovation and develop specialised talent pipelines.
