Glanbia launches UHT milk brand in China

Glanbia hopes to capitalise on the growing Chinese market for UHT milk with the launch of its Avonmore brand.

Long Life (UHT) Avonmore milk is now being produced in a new state-of-the-art factory located in Lough Egish, Co Monaghan — the first new milk processing plant in Ireland for a generation.

The market for imported UHT milk in China has grown strongly in recent years. Demand has increased fourfold in the last four years as Chinese production of milk has failed to keep up with demand.
