The Gleeson Group , Borrisoleigh, Co.Tipperary, has agreed a €26m refinancing deal with its banks with a view to spending up to €25m on new acquisitions which may come about because of the economic downturn.
 Tipperary Spring Water Owned by the Cooney family since the 1970s, the Gleeson Group was initially a Guinness bottler but now distributes everything from soft drinks to beers and ciders.
Gleeson Group is Ireland’s leading supplier and distributor of beverage products in Ireland.
With 11 fully owned distribution hubs, the company have full national coverage and can deliver to every shop, restaurant, catering company, distributor, supermarket, public house, forecourt and hotel in Ireland, both North and South.
Established by the Gleeson family in the late 1960’s in Borrisoleigh, County Tipperary, Gleeson was a manufacturer of soft drinks and a bottler of the Guinness stout brand.
The soft drinks giant, best known, nation-wide, for its product ‘Tipperary Water’ operates a drinks and distribution business and currently enjoys a turnover of almost €250m.
In February M & J Gleeson (Investments) secured a new €26m facility from AIB, Barclays and Bank of Scotland (Ireland), which included the refinancing of a €12m loan originally taken out in 2007.
The Company has already bought out an Offaly distributor in recent weeks and seems confident that there will be further opportunities over the coming year.
Public demand soared for its Tipperary Water product, amid shortages of tap water brought about by recent flooding and frozen arctic conditions.
The Company currently employs a team of approximately 686 employees and despite some trading difficulties due to the economic downturn, declared no redundancies in 2009. This was partly due to good forward planning and timely action on product cost, which included a pay freeze accepted right across the total workforce.
Presently demand for agricultural sheds and other farm buildings are in poor demand in rural Ireland these days, but this has not dampened the efforts of agricultural shed manufacturers O’Dwyer Steel, one of Ireland’s leading structural steel engineering businesses, situated in Dundrum village in County Tipperary.
 The company have just completed the construction of a large animal compound, including swimming pool, animal accommodation and lifting equipment, for Dublin’s zoo elephant population.
As part of its new diversification program the company is also currently building a new farm in the heart of ‘the big smoke’, also at Dublin city zoo in Phoenix Park, Dublin 8.
This project will involve the construction of a miniature farmyard, to give Dublin urban-ites a true taste of farm life as experienced in everyday rural Ireland.

 Taro Pharmaceuticals Roscrea Taro Pharmaceuticals Ireland Ltd, what was once the flagship of employment in the Mid West region, is to cease operations with the loss of 31 jobs in Roscrea, Co.Tipperary.
Taro is a multinational, science-based pharmaceutical company, dedicated to meeting the needs of its customers through the discovery, development, manufacturing and marketing of the highest quality health care products.
The former Antigen Factory announced the closure despite a number of measures in recent months to attempt to save jobs at it’s Roscrea facility.
An angry Deputy Noel Coonan expressed deep regret at the announcement by Taro Pharmaceuticals stating:-
“This is another psychological blow for the town. After a number of fake dawns, this once great Antigen factory will finally grind to a halt. This former Antigen, now Taro Pharmaceuticals, has historically provided meaningful employment in Roscrea for many decades but now the locks and bolts will be chained on the gates.
It’s a sad day for the town of Roscrea and for all those who worked there.
This closure of Taro Pharmaceuticals brings to mind the comments of Denis Brosnan, Chairman of the Mid West Task Force when he recently said that the Government and State Agencies such as the IDA and Enterprise Ireland have failed the Mid West Region. This is certainly true of Roscrea and I’m calling on the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment Mary Coughlan TD to direct the necessary resources and expertise towards Roscrea in an attempt to stop the hemorrhaging of jobs.
In Roscrea over the last two years job seekers payments are up by 987 or 100%. The time for talking has long since passed. It’s time for action. For too long the Government, through the State Agencies, failed to deliver infrastructural development to North Tipperary and in particular to the Roscrea region. Numerous areas are still without high speed Internet access despite the richness of the Celtic Tiger era. This lack of competitiveness and infrastructural shortfall exists as a result of flawed Government policy. It is a major hindrance in attracting companies to the area and an issue I am continually highlighting to the Minister of Communications. The highly skilled employees who worked in Taro Pharmaceuticals will now become another number on the dole queue. My heart goes out to all who have been left jobless and their families. It is shocking that this Government, the Greens and the Independents who support it, are so willing to bail out the banks while preying on the little people,” he concluded.
