Rosderra Irish Meats Group is the largest pork processing company in Ireland. We operate two state-of-the-art slaughtering and processing facilities at Edenderry, Co. Offaly and Roscrea, Co. Tipperary. In addition, we have a Speciality Meat Ingredients facility in Clara, Co. Offaly, a Pork-Curing facility in Jamestown Co. Leitrim, and a Cooked Meats facility in Stradone, Co. Cavan.

We are an integrated business, with a number of our own pig farms strategically placed close to our plants which form the cornerstone of our supply base. From this supply network of quality pig meat, we produce an extensive range of fresh, frozen and cured pork products. In addition, we produce a variety of cooked meats as well as our corned beef brand, ‘Hanley’. This makes us a supplier of choice to customers in the retail and food processing sectors worldwide.

“Our members are committed to continued up-skilling and training of our people. We continue to face many challenges in the sector and in the fortunes of our country and people. Skills and competency development are critical to enable businesses to respond quickly and effectively to the continual challenges and changes that our current and new markets require.

People involved in working in the food and drink manufacturing and processing sectors share many similar skills requirements; they need to be able to demonstrate a number of technical and behavioural skills and it is through the work of the Taste 4 Success Skillnet, that we have been able to collaborate and maximize the combined value of expertise across the sectors, to ensure that we support our members, both large and small, indigenous and multinational, to train ourselves, our employees and continue to be drivers in creating employment and business for Ireland Inc.”
