With its catchment area mostly in the North West, Aurivo processes an annual volume of approximately 500 million litres of milk, making it one of Ireland's largest dairy co-operatives. Formed after the 2000 merger of North Connacht Farmers Co-operative (itself an earlier amalgamation of smaller creameries in the North West) and Kiltoghert Co-operative Agricultural & Dairy Society,[3] by 2021 it had over 10,000 farmers members and reported an operating profit of €12.6 million from a turnover of €570.2 million.[2]

With approximately 650 employees, Aurivo is divided into a number of key business areas including: Consumer Foods (Milk and Butter), Dairy Ingredients (milk powders and cheese), Agribusiness (servicing local farmers), and its retail network of shops across the North West.
