Glanbia’s €200m plant to create 400 building jobs

Dairy and food ingredients group Glanbia has been granted planning permission for a €200m milk processing plant at Belview Port in south Kilkenny, which is expected to employ 400 people during construction and more than 100 full-time staff upon completion.

When completed, Belview is expected to be two-thirds the size of Glanbia’s facility in Ballyragget, which is the largest integrated dairy processing facility in Europe.

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