Tipperary Co-op comes out on top in international award
Tipperary’s success in the annual Danone Numico Corporation’s Partners for Growth Awards was announced at a ceremony in Amsterdam. It is the first Irish co-op or dairy company to receive such an award, which recognised the society’s excellence in quality, service and innovation. Danone Numico, a world leader in dairy products, secures ingredients from major dairy companies in Europe, Asia, the United States and Oceania. Fonterra, one of the world’s largest co-ops, was a previous winner.
Pat Caulfield, managing director, Danone Numico Ireland, who presented the trophy to Tim Dullea, general manager, Tipperary Co-op, said the society has become a key supplier of dairy ingredients to the group. The co-op was demonstrating a close partnership approach, flexibility and willingness to adapt to constantly changing market conditions.
