New €3.3M facility to create 16 jobs in Mullagh

A new €3.3M new finishing and packing facility in Mullagh, near Kells, is to begin producing milk replacers in Ireland. As a result, up to 16 new, high-quality, manufacturing jobs will be created by the dairy nutrition company Volac, supported by the Irish government through Enterprise Ireland.

Minister for Business and Enterprise Heather Humphreys was on hand today to make the announcement. The company's long-term aim is to source selected Irish raw materials to supplement fat-filled Imunopro whey protein bases supplied from Volac’s factory in Felinfach, Wales. The new facility in Mullagh will enable Volac to meet the needs of its milk replacer customers in the Irish and overseas markets as the business continues to grow.

 Volac is a privately-owned business based near Cambridge, UK. The company has seven production facilities (five of them in the UK, one in The Netherlands, and one in Malaysia) where we manufacture and supply high quality dairy nutrition products to the global market.
