Glanbia plc
 PROFILE
Glanbia is milking the dairy industry for all it's worth. Formerly Avonmore Waterford Group, Glanbia (which means "pure food" in Gaelic) is Ireland's largest dairy products business and one of the largest in Europe. The company also is one of the world's largest cheese producers. In addition to cheese and milk, it also sells yogurt, dairy-based food ingredients, sliced meats, soups, and other foods. The company is a leading pork producer in Ireland. Besides its Irish plants, Glanbia has operations in the US and Belgium. Glanbia shut down its 50%-owned B2B portal for food makers, ingredientsnet.com. Glanbia has an agreement to provide chilled foods for 2,500 Compass catering outlets in Britain.
