The Irish dairy industry must step up innovation if it is to remain
competitive in a changing European market place, according to one
of the country's leading processors and ingredient suppliers.
Glanbia has received government support to expand its R&D
capabilities in Ireland, as the company moves to step up its focus
on innovation within dairy processing.
A range of development projects, from functional dairy proteins to
cheddar cheese, will benefit from a multi-million euro investment
in Ireland's dairy industry, the country's government has
announced.
The Irish Commercial Court has judged that the Yoplait Essence
brand does not infringe on Danone's Essensis trademark, and that
the French dairy giant's trademark should be revoked, as it is not
a genuine market brand.
