Glanbia hails ambitious 2025 dairy targets

Dairy ingredients company Glanbia Ingredients Ireland yesterday welcomed the ambitious growth targets in Food Wise 2025.

Following the removal of EU milk quotas earlier this year, Glanbia Ingredients Ireland’s 4,800 milk suppliers are aiming to increase milk production by 63% by 2020. It currently processes 1.6bn litres of milk, or 30% of Ireland’s milk pool, into a range of dairy ingredients for export to more than 50 countries.

Glanbia Ingredients Ireland recently completed a €235m infrastructure investment programme, which culminated in the development of a high-spec nutritional ingredients facility at Belview, Co Kilkenny, which operates exclusively for exports.
