Welcome to the latest edition
of Kerrygold Moos Online. I’d like to start off by
thanking you all for your efforts throughout what has been
a busy and challenging 2006.
Natural Cheese Capacity Increased
The year started with the decision that after many years of decline,
the time was right for Kerrygold to exit the processed cheese market.
However, this in turn created an opportunity as production space
was made available for the company to expand its natural cheese
capacity, and by April additional business was bought into the
factory following the successful negotiation of an exclusive contract
packing agreement with the Irish dairy co-operative, Dairygold.
Record Outputs
Furthermore, the company has secured additional new business throughout
the year with a number of retailers which has led to record outputs
from the factory.

Brand New Factory
I am also delighted to announce that approval has been granted
by our parent company to build a brand new state of the art
factory on our existing site over the course of the next
two years (subject to planning approval). This not only secures
Kerrygold’s future in Leek, but also will provide us
with additional capacity enabling further growth of the business
in the years to come. Look out for future issues of the Moos
for more information on this breaking news.
In signing off, I'd like to thank you once again for all
your support during 2oo6 and wish you and your families a
great Christmas and prosperous New Year.
