Connolly's RED MILLS is a family owned business engaged in the Formulation, Manufacturing and Marketing of Animal Health and Nutrition for Global Equine and Pet Markets.
Nestled in the scenic farm country of County Kilkenny in South-East Ireland, Connolly's RED MILLS has been the home of the Connolly family business since 1908. RED MILLS is quite literally the feed of champions, and is trusted by leading racehorse owners and trainers worldwide.
Today, we are one of the most trusted global names within the areas of high performance horse feed, pet food and agri products. Our brand is known and trusted from the UK and Ireland to Continental Europe, the USA, Japan and elsewhere in the Far East. But despite our global footprint, we’re still a company that has family values at our very heart. After five generations, the founding family is still at the helm – and making sure that while we’re big enough to supply a world market, we’re very much in touch with core values.
Innovation is in our DNA
Although we’re over a century old, we’re very much a modern, dynamic and future-focused company, with a commitment to R&D and new product innovation - supported by some of the most technologically advanced plant and processes in the world. Ultimately, this is your guarantee that you are always getting the very best feeds for your animals’ needs.
Our ongoing R&D keeps Connolly’s RED MILLS to the forefront in constantly improving the product quality of our animal feeds, giving our customers the best value and performance that money can buy.
We’re never prepared to stand still, and our customers can look forward to many important new product and process innovations in the years to come.
