About this company

Ornua Foods UK Limited is registered at Leek, Staffordshire, and its recorded business activity is butter and cheese production. It operates as a UK business unit within Ornua, a global dairy co-operative headquartered in Ireland that describes itself as exporting wholesome, natural dairy products and value-added dairy ingredients to consumers and manufacturers in over 110 countries. While the wider Ornua group markets dairy brands and ingredients internationally and is described as Ireland's largest exporter of primary dairy products, this UK entity's own role, per official records, is the production of dairy products such as butter and cheese, forming part of that global co-operative's operations rather than an independent standalone dairy business.
