Local suppliers can now enjoy the long-term support of a significant international dairy company. They have the security of knowing they are contributing to a high-quality product being provided to a substantial and progressive end user client.
That in turn provides suppliers with security and confidence to invest in their businesses. It also means significant investment in the local community with over $650 million already spent on development of the Glenavy site to date, further investment in two new production lines in 2019, permanent staff levels passing beyond 300 in mid-2019, continued support from longer-term contractor partners, and a new laboratory due for completion mid-2020.
