Strength through Co‑operation

Our farmers, families and local communities are at the heart of all we do. Not just because we work here, but because we live here too.

We’re leading the next generation of family farmers, driving real innovation and supporting genuine change to help ensure a thriving, sustainable industry for the future.

We combine more than a century of farming tradition with an unwavering commitment to innovation, safety and world-leading standards, to produce the freshest flavours of Tipperary.

We are a farming community in Ireland’s agricultural heartland, dedicated to the growth of local business and improvement of customer experience.

Proudly Serving our Community, for over 125 years
Since our founding in 1898, Centenary Thurles Co-op has persevered, and prospered. Our focus remains centred around our family farmers who produce the very best crops, dairy ingredients, milk and meat that is enjoyed in Tipperary homes and around the world, alongside our retail and agri-business interests.

In 2023 we celebrated 125 years in business with a gala event in late summer. A timeline video outlines the key moments in our history.
