Plans for a €126m investment in a state-of-the-art whey processing facility at Tirlán’s Ballyragget site in Kilkenny were recently announced.
The new facility will focus on the production of an advanced nutritional whey protein product portfolio, including clear whey protein — an increasingly popular product among lifestyle consumers.
