Trouw Nutrition reinforces its commitment to customers across Ireland
Trouw Nutrition has announced its newly aligned operational and delivery model for the island of Ireland, following a review of its core business functions and customer service structures.
The company first announced its decision to close its manufacturing facility on Ship Street, Belfast in May 2026, with the site ceasing production and closing permanently today (30 September).
This change only relates to manufacturing with commercial, sales, technical support and customer service operations unaffected and continuing as normal from the company’s headquarters in Clarendon Dock, Belfast.
Over recent months, Trouw Nutrition has invested significantly in shaping a stronger, more agile operating model, strengthening its core commercial and technical capabilities and welcoming new talent to the regional team. As a result, the company is best positioned to support customers and respond to their current and future needs.
In line with its commitment to the Ireland-wide market, products are now manufactured at the company’s existing GB and European production sites and supplemented locally through its long-term supply partnership with North Down Grain, based in Newtownards.
Bruce Spain, Trouw Nutrition’s Country Manager UK and Ireland said: “Change is always challenging and I recognise that the last few months have been painful, both for our valued colleagues and also for our customers. It has also caused a level of uncertainty regarding our operations in this market.
“I want to be totally clear that Trouw Nutrition is fully committed to the island of Ireland, and the changes we have made only underpin our competitiveness and leading position here.
“Our new operational and delivery model enables us to meet the evolving needs of the feed industry’s demanding traceability and compliance requirements. It also best positions the company to deliver its high-quality product ranges through a more streamlined, resilient and efficient service model. Our expert team, commitment to innovation and the delivery of top customer service remain our strength and focus.
“We thank our people and our customers for their continued loyalty, ongoing support and partnership.”
