Partnerships drive success
We have enhanced capabilities in consumer insights and analytics to help us understand consumer motivations and needs. We share this knowledge with our customers and work alongside them to develop high-quality, patented and patent-ready solutions that they will take into production for their consumers. Our global network of innovation and collaboration centres in Ireland, the US, Canada, Germany, Italy, Singapore and China support our customers with product development every step of the way.
We're aligned to consumer trends
More and more people are focused on nutrition that supports a healthy and active lifestyle as well as boosting their mental health. Consumer interest in fortified foods and beverages with functional claims continues to increase, as people seek to supplement their diets with immune boosting nutrients to improve their energy levels and health. We develop bespoke nutritional solutions using a wide range of ingredients that meet customer needs.
Unlocking healthier options
As the shift from the traditional three-meals-a-day lifestyle continues, consumers are looking for lower-sugar, high-protein, better-for-you snacks that taste good and come from sustainable sources. Glanbia’s innovation teams are helping meet this need with functional foods containing natural, familiar, simple ingredients, including both dairy- and plant-based proteins that are easy for consumers to recognise and understand.
Custom-made solutions
We add value through customer-focused innovation and collaboration is central to our philosophy. We build strong partnerships with customers to develop the best nutrition solutions for them. We work with customers to innovate and formulate new products using our ingredients, flavours and premix expertise. By partnering with our customers we help them successfully launch and deliver new products from prototype to production at speed.
