Abstract

The takeover, in 1992, of most of the former Express Dairies operations in Ireland has made Waterford Co-operative Society (through its subsidiary, Waterford Foods) the largest corporate entity in the Irish dairy industry. The emergence of a Waterford-based dairy co-operative to pre-eminence in the Irish dairy industry may appear, at first glance, to be anomalous, in that County Waterford has always been (and remains) on the margins of the country's premier milk production region, centred on the Golden Vale of Limerick and Tipperary. In addition, in comparison to the latter region, the dairy co-operative system in Waterford was quite late in getting off the ground.
