Glanbia going flat out in Idaho and New Mexico

OPERATING on a large scale, and locating where milk is plentiful and can be purchased competitively from large scale farms, offers Glanbia the opportunity to be the lowest cost producer, and No 1 in its markets.

In Idaho, they are “swimming” in milk, the first pre-requisite for processing efficiently at full capacity.

It’s a different story in states like Wisconsin, for many years the heartland of US dairy production, but now hit by falling milk production and high milk prices, which have forced many processors to close plants.
