In the wake of Tirlán’s recent establishment of a more than €600m investment fund there has been some speculation that it may seek to buy Glanbia’s US cheese business.
While today’s announcement by Glanbia would seem to make such a deal easier to achieve, spokespeople for both organisations poured cold water on the idea.
A spokesperson for Glanbia said: “We have no plans to sell our dairy business. The changes announced today are intended to put greater focus on our high margin growth priorities within GN – flavours and premix – which will comprise the new Health & Nutrition segment.”
Board members of Tirán had made a trip to the US in recent weeks, which a spokesperson said was to Dallas, Texas, to get a picture of how the company’s Truly Grass Fed business was performing.
