Glanbia has its origins in the Irish co-operative movement that evolved over the last century. Glanbia plc was formed in 1997 out of the merger of Avonmore Foods plc and Waterford Foods plc, at the moment the company has more than 5,800 people across 34 countries worldwide and their shares are listed on the Irish and London stock exchanges (GLB).

2 Esidock bays integrated with a concrete loading ramp and platform were installed in Glanbia to resolve a long standing problem in their Virginia plant. Esidock was selected as it was the most cost efficient and practical solution, ensuring the highest hygiene levels in their warehouse operations.
