Finance Trainee (m/w/d) , Kerrygold Graduate Programme

Ornua (meaning “new gold”) is Ireland’s largest exporter of Irish dairy products, proudly bringing the unique taste of Irish dairy to the world for over 55 years.

Ornua Deutschland is located in Neukirchen-Vluyn and is responsible for the packing and distribution of butter, butter spreads and cheese to all leading retailers in both Germany and Austria. Kerrygold butter was first launched in Germany in 1973, reaching national distribution by 1982.

Ornua Deutschland recently completed its third expansion which extended the production and storage facilities in addition to developing enhanced office space to facilitate the growing popularity of the Kerrygold brand in Germany.

Kerrygold is the No. 1 butter brand in Germany, selling 100’s of million packets each year and is the brand leader for butter, spreads and cheddar cheese.

Synonymous with Ireland, the Kerrygold brand is listed in the top 10 of all Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) products in Germany – so popular with the locals, it has a street named after it; ‘Kerrygold Strasse’!
