Tirlán is injecting €126 million (US$146 million) into a state-of-the-art whey processing facility at its Ballyragget site in Kilkenny, Ireland. As the dairy company’s largest value-add investment to date, the capital is directed toward its whey processing and product innovation capacities. The new facility will focus on the production of an “advanced” nutritional whey protein product portfolio, including clear whey protein isolate, which is featured in trending ready-to-drink sports beverages like protein lemonade.
