The company was set-up in 2005 as a joint venture by Belgium-based Corman and Irish company Tirlán, formerly known as Glanbia, on a 55 per cent / 45 per cent ownership basis. A company statement said: “This difficult decision arises as a result of a reduction in the volume of business contracted at the facility in recent years and following significant restructuring efforts to enable it to operate in a highly competitive marketplace.”
Some 31 employees will be affected by the closure at the end of June but production at the plant will continue until then. They were told of the decision to close the company over the weekend.
