At the core of our business

Respect, safety, sustainability, trust and quality without compromise underpin everything we do at Tirlán. These guiding principles have helped ensure that as Ireland’s leading dairy processor we have formed lasting relationships with some of the world’s biggest brands. It is the integrated circular nature of our organisation which allows us strong oversight and leading supply chain traceability to ensure only the best quality products and ingredients are enjoyed by consumers. Over time we have helped redefine modern dairy and delivered our award-winning Avonmore brand. Through our innovative high-spec processing facilities we process our milk pool of almost three billion litres into a range of tailored solutions and ingredients for the global marketplace. As the biggest buyer and user of Irish grains, our state-of-the-art milling facility has unrivalled traceability when it comes to gluten-free oats.
