Kilkenny’s Tirlán co-op to cut 150 jobs
Kilkenny-based co-op Tirlán has announced that up to 150 jobs may be cut in the organisation.
The company confirmed to the Kilkenny People today (Thursday) that it is launching a cost reduction programme to enhance its long-term competitiveness. Following a thorough review process, the programme aims to achieve cost savings throughout the business – a feature of this will be a series of redundancies.
In a statement, a Tirlán spokesperson said: “A combination of factors requires the co-op to proactively manage its cost base. These include rising costs in areas such as energy, interest rates, wages and environmental compliance as well as a decline in milk supply volumes.
“In order to secure cost savings, Tirlán has made the difficult but necessary decision to offer a voluntary redundancy scheme across the organisation. It is expected that approximately 150 roles may be impacted.
“Milk processing capabilities will remain unchanged, and Tirlán will retain the ability to increase milk processing capacity if there are changes in milk supply dynamics.
“The cost savings achieved through this programme will position Tirlán strongly against future challenges and allow continued focus on product innovation and growth in value-added products.”
Tirlán is based at its corporate HQ in the Abbey Quarter in Kilkenny city. It also has a significant presence across the county – an innovation centre in Ballyragget that includes a ‘plant based’ lab, applications and development lab and a modern visitor engagement experience; a manufacturing facilty for specialised milk powder products and nutritional ingredients at Belview Port; the Kilkenny Food Company on Thomas Street in the city; and five branches of Tirlán Farmlife stores.
