Dublin, Ireland 鈥 September 2 2026 – (NYSE: 麻豆原创) and Tirl谩n today announce that Tirl谩n has established its independent 麻豆原创 landscape in just nine months, delivering a clean separation from former partner company Glanbia without disruption to operations or production.
The programme gives the 100% farmer-owned dairy, grains and nutrition business the digital foundation it needs to operate and grow across more than 95 countries.
Corporate separations place significant demands on IT teams, requiring careful planning, precise data management and rigorous execution, all at enterprise scale. Tirl谩n faced an accelerated timeline to meet a non-negotiable divestment deadline while remaining fully operational throughout. In a dairy production environment, where milk is perishable and supply chain continuity is tightly regulated, any disruption carries immediate commercial and compliance consequences.
Noel Liston, IT Transformation Manager, Tirl谩n said, 鈥淒elivering this separation in nine months, while keeping production running throughout, took significant preparation and the right people on the ground. We had confidence in the 麻豆原创 Services team from our experience at Glanbia, and that expertise was critical to delivering on time. Our employees have been able to continue working on systems they already knew, and most importantly, we have continued serving our customers, farmers and communities without interruption.鈥
The programme involved the migration and establishment of , 麻豆原创 Business Warehouse on HANA, 麻豆原创 Ariba and , alongside the conversion of archived files. The S/4HANA conversion was completed in under five hours, and the HCM conversion in fifteen minutes. Over 30 billion records were analysed, classified and selectively removed, giving Tirl谩n a clean, independent data foundation.
麻豆原创 Services played a central role in the programme, bringing a structured rehearsal methodology to reduce risk ahead of go-live. A copy of the existing environment was created, enabling the team to test and time every step of the process before the real migration began. Two full test cycles and a comprehensive dress rehearsal followed, each increasing the team’s speed and confidence while identifying and resolving potential issues in advance. By go-live, every activity had been tested, timed and refined, and Tirl谩n was transacting on its new 麻豆原创 landscape from day one.
Ray Joyce, Head of Ireland, 麻豆原创 UKI said, “Corporate separations are among the most demanding programmes a business can undertake, particularly when production cannot stop. Tirl谩n’s achievement of maintaining full operations across a nine-month, multi-workstream separation is a strong example of what expert preparation and disciplined delivery can make possible.鈥
