Glenilen Farm, the family run dairy company based in west Cork, is forecasting sales of €5.7m for 2019.
Since 2013, the company has almost doubled its sales from just over €3m – thanks to supply contracts with customers such as Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Waitrose and Aer Lingus.
The company now employs 45 people at its dairy processing facility, which is located on the family farm in Drimoleague, Co Cork.

Glenilen Farm was established in 1997 by Alan and Valerie Kingston on their 55ac family farm where they milk 60 cows.
The family farm produces 30% of the milk used in Glenilen products, with the extra milk sourced from nearby Drinagh Co-op. The company produces a range of products, with yoghurts accounting for over 75% of sales (€4.3m), while desserts, butters and other dairy products make up the remaining 25% of turnover.
The UK market accounts for 25% of Glenilen’s sales. Despite the uncertainties of Brexit, Alan Kingston says the company will continue to focus on the UK as a key market for the near-term.
