Glanbia targets milk expansion

Glanbia is set to buy the IDA’s greenfield site at Belview, Co Kilkenny, as part of its plans to expand its milk processing capacity.

It is understood the development will be two thirds the size of Glanbia Ballyragget, which is the largest integrated dairy processing facility in Europe.

The new site is expected to have two 7.5-tonne driers, with capacity for up to 19m litres per week.
