Investment of €5m marks Cork firm’s anniversary

Cork-based manufacturer of animal premix and feed additives Inform Nutrition Ireland is marking its 40 year anniversary with a €5m capital investment.

The capital investment aims to accelerate growth, enhance automation and increase production capacity.

The expansion also supports the strategic target of the company to grow group turnover to €100m.

The upgrades aim to increase annual production capacity from 35,000 tonnes to 60,000 tonnes, which is an increase of more than 70%.

The investment plan also includes a focus on workforce development, with new roles and upskilling programs across the business.

Inform Nutrition has grown from a local start-up into one of the most advanced animal premix and feed additive manufacturers in Europe.

Founded in 1986 in White’s Cross in Cork by Martin Beirne and the late Denis Twomey, Inform Nutrition plan to use the investment to support major upgrades at the company’s Cork manufacturing campus, including advanced automation, enhanced blending systems and a new bulk out loading facility.
