Glanbia was formed in 1997 from the merger of Avonmore Foods plc and Waterford Foods plc. Since then, we’ve transformed from Irish dairy producer to global nutrition group. We have a portfolio of market-leading brands, a successful track record, and a business model that encourages us to innovate, grow and prosper as a Group.
Reasons to invest
We’re a global leader in the fast-growing nutrition sector with a track record of success and a proven strategy for growth.
Glanbia's culture and values came to the fore during the Covid-19 pandemic. Our people, including our frontline workers, performed heroically during the pandemic to ensure that we kept our operations running, maintaining the supply of essential nutrition to people all over the world.
We understand the value of great brands. Our portfolio of world leading performance and lifestyle brands satisfies a range of consumer motivations, from sports performance to weight management. People right across the world from athletes to remote workers want to eat well and live healthier, more active lives. Whether you want to build muscle, reach peak performance, eat more protein-rich foods, or lose weight, we have a product to help you achieve your goals.
In today's world, consumers are seeking brands and ingredients that focus on healthy lifestyles, weight management and boosting immunity.
Today's consumers view weight management and metabolic health in a new light with 51% of global consumers indicating they are concerned about being less active or gaining weight during the pandemic. Consumers also want to have the best defence against illness as possible, resulting in a rapid rise in demand for immune-boosting food and drink products. Our portfolio of brands and ingredients play into these trends, which will support our future ambitions.
Strong cash flow and a robust balance sheet gives us financial strength. Our strong conversion of earnings to cash enables the Group to sustain a progressive dividend policy. We have strong financing metrics and considerable financial firepower and flexibility to fund strategic capital expenditure and acquisitions.
Through our consumer-focused innovation, long-term partnerships, and talented team we add value to our pool of raw ingredients and deliver a portfolio of higher-margin nutritional and functional ingredients, and branded performance nutrition and lifestyle brands.
The health and wellness trends which underpin our strategy have become even more pronounced as a result of the pandemic. We are ambitious for future growth, to capitalise on these trends. Our growth strategy will continue to be a blend of organic growth and strategic acquisition opportunities, which we will continue to evaluate as they arise.
