Glanbia Consumer Foods officially opened its new state-of-the-art UHT (Ultra Heat Treated) milk processing facility today at Lough Egish, Co Monaghan.
The Lough Egish UHT facility represents an investment of €15m by Glanbia and will create 40 new jobs, half of which have been filled already. The new plant has a processing capacity of 100m litres of milk per annum, and will produce a range of standard and fortified UHT milk and cream products under the Avonmore brand. All products will be destined for export markets Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia.
The new site was officially opened on Friday by Ministers Heather Humphreys and Ged Nash as well as Glanbia chairman Henry Corbally and Glanbia CEO of consumer foods Colin Gordon.
Speaking at the official opening, Glanbia Co-op chairman Henry Corbally said the new plant highlighted Glanbia’s support for the liquid milk business in Ireland.
“This new best-in-class facility will play a key role in our strategy to further develop an international business for Irish liquid milk and cream products and will ensure that our relationship with our farmer suppliers continues to deliver significant benefits and opportunities to them,” added Corbally.
