In 1936 the Dungarvan Co-op went into business with Cow & Gate to produce dried milk. During World War II demand for dried milk products grew resulting in increased output from the Dungarvan factory. In 1947 Cow & Gate renewed their contract with Dungarvan Co-op which marked a period of expansion for the Dungarvan operation.
