Work has kicked off on Glanbia Ireland’s new Innovation Centre in Ballyragget, Co Kilkenny, a 2000 sq ft state-of-the-art facility that will strengthen our capabilities to bring new food solutions to market. Ambitions for the new €15 million Centre are high; it will be a creative hub and testing centre where all of Glanbia Ireland’s innovative and passionate food technologists, nutritionists and scientists will collaborate and bring ideas to life. It will provide GI’s 50-strong R&D team with the capabilities to bring products speedily and efficiently to market. In addition, the new facility will include a world-class customer experience destination to showcase how we live our mission to bring the passion of Irish farmers to the world.

Construction of the new Centre is expected to complete at the end of 2021. Building the new centre at Glanbia Ireland’s largest production site in Ballyragget allows us to capitalise on the existing infrastructure and services on site. It will also further strengthen our support of local communities and in time, we will be very proud to showcase the best of Glanbia Ireland in the heartland of its heritage.
