Significant Company Events

On November 19, Tirlán announced increased milk prices to meet market demands. Their craftsmanship contributed to Ornua's success at the International Cheese and Dairy Awards, particularly through the award-winning Vintage Cheddar crafted at Ballyragget in Co. Kilkenny. Despite successes, Tirlán has experienced a mild downturn in milk prices, implementing a price reduction of 2.35 € and decreasing milk prices by 4 cents per litre in October.

Strategic Plans

Looking forward, Tirlán aims to focus on sustainability and high standards in dairy products. The company plans to implement a payment of 56.08c/L for February creamery supplies. However, it anticipates adjusting its milk price downward in March to 50.08c/L. Tirlán is investing in whey protein processing, with a €126 million investment in a new plant at its Ballyragget site, expected to be operational by mid-2027. This investment positions the company as a leader in global nutritional protein innovation. Additionally, Tirlán introduced a €5.5 million support package for milk suppliers to assist with on-farm costs.
