Carbery’s cheese factory at Ballineen is one of the largest cheese-producing facilities in Ireland. The factory produces about 25% of Ireland’s annual cheese output. It manufactures the Dubliner Brand on behalf of Ornua.
Last year, turnover increased 10% to €349.5m at Carbery, driven by a 13% increase in volumes and stronger cheese prices compared to 2014. It was also the first year of the expanded cheese operation at Balineen where production reached a record 50,000T. More than €20m was invested to improve efficiency and add capacity at Balineen over the last 2 years.
