Abbott Ireland Nutrition Division Cootehill Cavan Abbott Nutrition produces a range of infant formulae in all pack sizes under the brand name "Similac." To complement the range of "Similac" infant formulae, the facility also manufactures a range of follow-on formulae under the brand name of "Gain." The essential ingredient is liquid skim milk, which is combined with carbohydrate, vegetable oils, vitamins, and minerals. The product is blended, pasteurized, dried, and packaged at the site and once packaged, is distributed to Europe, South East Asia, the Middle East, Latin America, and Canada.
Established in 1975, Abbott Nutrition in Ireland is the largest powder manufacturing facility for the production of infant formulae within the Abbott Corporation worldwide. Approximately 1,000 dairy farms in Ireland and Northern Ireland supply quality milk to the Cootehill facility, which processes 500,000 litres per day. This secure supply, together with Ireland's reputation as a green, clean environment, is of significant strategic importance to Abbott Nutrition.
