Oceania Dairy - Strength and security
​Oceania Dairy Limited is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Inner Mongolia Yili Industrial Group (Yili), which is listed on the Shanghai stock exchange. Yili is China’s largest dairy producer and its 2014 revenue of US$8.6 billion made it the 10th largest dairy company in the world. Yili was a sponsor of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games and Expo.
The state-of-the-art Glenavy processing plant has been designed for the production of milk powder for export to China where it is being used by Yili to produce infant formula.
Local suppliers enjoy the long-term support of a significant international dairy company. Oceania’s supply partners have the security of knowing that they are contributing to a first-class product being provided to a substantial and progressive single end-user client.
That provides suppliers with security and confidence to invest in their businesses.
It also means jobs for the local community. Approximately 100 people are currently employed at Glenavy and this will grow to around 220 by March 2017 when the $400 million, Stage Two development project is complete.
