'''Lola Cars Limited''' is a British automobile manufacturer founded in 1958 by [[Eric Broadley]] in [[Bromley]], [[England]]. The company is now owned by [[Till Bechtolsheimer]], who purchased it in 2022. Lola Cars endured for more than fifty years to become one of the oldest and largest manufacturers of racing cars in the world. Lola started by building small front-engine sports cars, and branched out into [[Formula Junior]] cars before diversifying into a wider range of sporting vehicles. In 2012, Lola Cars stopped operations. Lola returned to motorsport in 2024 by joining the [[Formula E|Formula E World Championship]] as an entrant and a powertrain supplier in a technical partnership with [[Yamaha Motor Company|Yamaha]].

==History==
Lola Cars was a brand of the Lola Group, which combined former [[Watercraft rowing|rowing]] [[boat]] manufacturer [[Lola Aylings]] and Lola Composites, that specialized in [[Carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer|carbon fibre]] production.

Lola was acquired by [[Martin Birrane]]<ref>{{cite web |last1=Watkins |first1=Gary |title=Former Lola Cars International boss Martin Birrane dies aged 82 |url=https://www.autosport.com/other/news/136671/former-lola-boss-birrane-dies |website=Autosport}}</ref> in 1997 after the unsuccessful [[MasterCard Lola]] attempt at [[Formula One]]. After a period in bankruptcy administration, Lola Cars International ceased trading on 5 October 2012.<ref name=end>{{Cite news|title= Lola Cars International in Huntingdon ceases trading |url= https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cambridgeshire-19895918 |date= 10 October 2012 |work= BBC News |access-date= 10 October 2012 }}</ref> The administrator, CCW Recovery Solutions, was unable to find a suitable buyer and the firm ceased trading on 5 October 2012, laying off the last employees.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://auto-racing.speedtv.com/article/industry-lola-ceases-operations/ |title=INDUSTRY: Lola Ceases Operations |publisher=SPEED |author=Dagys, John |date=10 October 2012 |access-date=10 October 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121011184932/http://auto-racing.speedtv.com/article/industry-lola-ceases-operations/ |archive-date=11 October 2012 |df=dmy-all }}</ref>

On 16 October 2012, it was announced in the competition press that some assets of Lola Cars were acquired by Multimatic Inc. and The Carl A. Haas Automotive company. In addition to the asset purchase, Multimatic and Haas obtained a licence agreement to use the Lola Cars name and intellectual property.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://auto-racing.speedtv.com/article/industry-lola-set-to-continue-under-new-ownership/|title=INDUSTRY:Lola Set To Continue Under New Leadership|publisher=SPEED|author=Dagys, John|date=16 October 2012|access-date=16 October 2012|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121018211223/http://auto-racing.speedtv.com/article/industry-lola-set-to-continue-under-new-ownership|archive-date=18 October 2012|df=dmy-all}}</ref>

In late 2021, Till Bechtolsheimer bid and subsequently bought Lola in June 2022. The assets bought include the brand and trademarks, intellectual property, and the Lola Technical Centre (with wind tunnel). Bechtolsheimer subsequently made it clear he has the intention of reviving the company within two years.<ref name=Watkins>{{cite web |last1=Watkins |first1=Gary |title=Lola Cars brought by Till Bechtolsheimer |url=https://www.autosport.com/general/news/lola-to-relaunch-under-new-ownership-targets-racing-return/10327663/|work= Autosport |date=24 June 2022 |access-date= 24 June 2022}}</ref> He expressed an ambition to have a car on the track in the 2024–25 time frame.<ref name="Watkins" /> Bechtolsheimer drove a Lola for the first time in November 2022—a 1958 [[Lola Mk1|Mk1]] at [[Harris Hill Raceway]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Baime |first=A.

=== Early days – the 1960s ===
Lola was one of the top chassis suppliers in the 1960s. After its small front-engined sports cars came various single-seaters including Formula Junior, Formula 3, Formula 2 and Formula 1 cars.

Broadley designed the Ford V8 powered [[Lola Mk6|Lola Mk.6]] coupe. Ford took a keen interest in this and paid Broadley to put the company on hold for two years and merge his ideas with [[Roy Lunn]]'s work, giving rise to the [[Ford GT40]]. Initial work was done at the Lola works at Bromley before moving to a factory on the [[Slough Trading Estate]]. Broadley managed to release himself from this contract after a year and started developing his own cars again, retaining the Slough factory, which was in Lola's name (leaving [[John Wyer]] to find new premises for [[Ford Advanced Vehicles]], which were also on the Slough Estate). Broadley started off in sports cars with the [[Lola T70]] and its successors (T16x, T22x) which were used successfully all over the world from the [[World Sportscar Championship|World Championship for Makes]] to the [[Canadian-American Challenge Cup|CanAm]] series, until 1973. In 2005, Lola announced that a new batch of T70 coupés, to the original specifications, would be released. These were to be homologated for historic racing and there was talk of a one-make series for the cars. The Slough built cars incorporated the letters 'SL' in their chassis numbers, just as the cars built at Bromley had incorporated 'BR'.

=== 1970s ===
Various [[Group 5 (racing)|Group 5]] and [[Group 6 (racing)|Group 6]] sports cars including the T210 and T212, and T28x/29x/38x/39x series were also built, competing with [[Chevron Cars Ltd|Chevron]], [[March Engineering|March]] and others. [[Alain de Cadenet]]'s Le Mans 'specials' tended to be based on Lola technology.

Lola (with rebodied [[Formula 5000]] cars) dominated the CanAm sports car series when it was revived in the late 1970s, but many motorsport fans {{who|date=August 2023}} do not consider the single-seater Formula 5000-based cars from this era to be true sports cars, despite their full bodywork and enclosed wheel-wells.

=== 1980s and early 1990s ===
Lola introduced the [[Lola T600|T600]]/T610 range for [[International Motor Sports Association|IMSA]] [[IMSA GT Championship|GTP]] racing in the early 1980s – these were fitted with a range of engines including [[Cosworth]], [[Mazda]] and [[Chevrolet]], as well as the novel [[Polimotor]] engine built using composite materials. Derivatives of this car were successful for some time in IMSA and [[Group C]] racing. Later Lola Group C and GTP cars tended to be built specifically for manufacturer programmes, specifically the later [[Nissan]] Group C entries and the [[Chevrolet Corvette GTP]] program. Lola also built a car for the 3.5 L Group C formula, the [[Lola T92/10|T92/10]], but the championship collapsed before this could be fully developed.

=== Late 1990s and 2000s ===
More recently, Lola produced a range of sports cars for [[Le Mans Prototype|Le Mans]]-style racing starting with the [[Lola B98/10|B98/10]], which was successful in the European market but less so in the USA. The [[Lola B2K/10|B2K/10]], with its additional central headlight reminiscent of a cyclops or a locomotive was more notable for its looks than its performance. While Lola has had limited success in the top class of the sport versus factory cars like the [[BMW V12 LMR]] and [[Audi R8 Race Car|Audi R8]], Lola has enjoyed periods of dominance in the second class (formerly LMP675, now LMP2), including championship class victories in the [[American Le Mans Series]], although this has been threatened in the [[American Le Mans Series|ALMS LMP2]] by works-supported entries from [[Acura ARX-01|Acura]] and [[Porsche RS Spyder|Porsche]].

A dedicated LMP675 car was built for [[MG (car)|MG]] in 2001, powered by a two-litre four-cylinder [[Advanced Engine Research|AER]] turbocharged engine. This was entered at [[Le Mans]] by the works team as the [[MG-Lola EX257]], and was also run as the [[Lola B01/60]] by private entrants. Later developments of this car have been fitted with assorted small V8s and the chassis was developed into recent customer LMP1 and LMP2 chassis.

An updated version of the Lola LMP2 came in 2005 with the introduction of the Lola B05/40 (also known as the [[MG-Lola EX264]]/265). It quickly became a contender in LMP2 by taking class honours in 2005 and 2006 at Le Mans with [[Ray Mallock Ltd.|Ray Mallock Limited]]. It also earned several class wins in the American Le Mans Series in 2005 and 2006 with Intersport Racing, including a second-place overall finish in the 2006 [[12 Hours of Sebring]]. In 2007, extensive updates were made to the chassis, to accommodate the all-new [[Acura]] powerplant run by [[Fernandez Racing]]. In addition, an essentially brand new LMP2 prototype, the B07/40, was built to house the new AER-based Mazda engine. This new version is being run exclusively in the U.S. by B-K Motorsports.

Lola also updated its LMP1 challenger in 2006 with the introduction of the B06/10. The car was run in the American Le Mans Series by [[Dyson Racing]] and in the Le Mans Series and the 24 Hours of Le Mans by UK-based Chamberlain-Synergy Racing. Chamberlain continued to run the machine in 2007 and 2008, while the former Dyson cars have been run off and on in the ALMS by Cytosport Racing and Intersport Racing. As with its LMP2 program, the 2007 calendar year saw Lola introduce further upgrades with the debut of the B07/10, which saw action in the Le Mans Series and the 24 Hours of Le Mans with [[Charouz Racing System|Charouz Racing]] and the Swiss Spirit team (using the same engine as the Audi R8).

Lola (in association with [[Tracy Krohn]]) took over the [[Multimatic]] franchise in [[Grand American Road Racing Association|Grand-Am's]] [[Daytona Prototype]] category in 2007. Krohn used his Riley cars at the 24 Hours of Daytona in 2008 but switched to the new cars later in the season.

Lola also introduced a pair of closed-cockpit Le Mans prototypes in 2008, the first of which is the [[Lola B08/60|B08/60]] running in the P1 category. The first B08/60 was raced by the Charouz team (with assistance from [[Prodrive]]) and featured an [[Aston Martin]] [[V12 engine]] to [[FIA GT1 World Championship|GT1]] specification.

The [[Lola B08/80|B08/80]] built to P2 regulations was first raced by Sebah Racing (and Speedy Racing in the 2008 Le Mans 24 Hours) and continued racing in the 2009 and 2010 seasons.

=== 2010s===
It was announced on 21 July 2010, that Lola would be building the [[Lola B11/40|B11/40]] to comply with the new 2011 LMP2 regulations. The car was to be a [[Carbon fiber|carbon fibre]] open-top [[monocoque]] race car featuring an all-carbon bodykit, quick-release removable rear bodywork including a stabilization fin on the engine cover which is a safety requirement of the new regulations. However, on 16 May 2012, it was reported that Lola Cars was entering financial administration.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/99638 |title=Lola Cars enters financial administration |date=16 May 2012 |publisher=autosport.co.uk |access-date=2012-05-16}}</ref>

Multimatic, a subsequent owner of Lola assets, supplied two Lola B12/80 LMP2 chassis' to Mazda for IMSA [[WeatherTech SportsCar Championship]] competition. The cars were powered by turbocharged inline-four Mazda diesel powerplants in 2014 and 2015, and a gasoline-powered turbo inline-four in 2016.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.autoweek.com/article/20131114/alms/131119918|title=Mazda returning to LMP2 racing with diesel power in 2014 Tudor United SportsCar Championship|work=autoweek.com|date=13 November 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://oppositelock.jalopnik.com/multimatic-lola-has-sold-new-p2-for-uscr-1168268798|title=Multimatic/Lola has sold new P2 for USCR?|author=Bakkster, touring car driver|work=Oppositelock|access-date=28 January 2014|archive-date=3 February 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140203034444/http://oppositelock.jalopnik.com/multimatic-lola-has-sold-new-p2-for-uscr-1168268798|url-status=dead}}</ref> All of the WeatherTech Sports Car Championship's Prototype-class chassis were retired at the end of the 2016 season in favour of a new specification, marking the end of Mazda's use of the Lola chassis.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://blackflag.jalopnik.com/mazda-goes-out-in-flames-turns-last-14-minutes-of-peti-1787324993|title=Mazda Goes Out In Flames, Turns Last 14 Minutes Of Petit Le Mans To Chaos|first=Stef|last=Schrader|work=jalopnik.com|access-date=11 February 2017|archive-date=11 February 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170211075726/http://blackflag.jalopnik.com/mazda-goes-out-in-flames-turns-last-14-minutes-of-peti-1787324993|url-status=dead}}</ref>

[[File:Honda-powered cars 2012 Japan.jpg|thumb|left|200px|1967 Lola T130 'Hondola']]
Lola resisted making a 'works' (i.e. a factory) Formula One entry for many years, being content to construct cars on behalf of other entrants. Lola's first works entry in 1997 led directly to the financial ruin of the company.

===Bowmaker and Parnell===
Lola made its first foray into [[Formula One]] in [[1962 Formula One season|1962]], supplying [[Lola Mk4]] cars to [[Reg Parnell]]'s ''Bowmaker-Yeoman Racing Team'', with [[John Surtees]] and [[Roy Salvadori]] as drivers. A measure of success was immediate, with Surtees's car claiming [[pole position]] in its first World Championship race, but although points were often scored, wins in Championship Grands Prix eluded the team. After Bowmaker's withdrawal, Parnell continued to run the cars privately. Privateer [[Bob Anderson (racing driver)|Bob Anderson]] gave the Mk4 its last victory, in the non-Championship 1963 [[Rome Grand Prix]]. Consistency, however, was not to be found, and after only two seasons, Lola abandoned Formula One cars for the time being.

==="Hondola" Honda RA300 and RA301===
In 1967, Lola assisted [[Honda Racing F1|Honda Racing]] and John Surtees with the design of their F1 car. The overweight chassis design by the engine-specialists from Honda was abandoned, and a 1966 Lola [[Indianapolis 500|Indianapolis]] monocoque ([[Lola T90]]) used as the basis for a Honda-engined car. The resultant [[Honda RA300]] was called the "Lola T130" by Lola Cars, unofficially called the "Hondola" by the press, and was sufficiently light and powerful to win the [[1967 Italian Grand Prix]].

===BMW Formula Two cars===
A number of Lola-built [[BMW]] [[Formula Two|F2]] cars were subsequently entered in the F2 class of the [[German Grand Prix]] at about this time.

===Embassy Hill===
{{Main|Embassy Hill}}
Towards the end of his long career, [[Graham Hill]] found it difficult to attract works drives; with a view to both finding a drive and a future as a team owner he established his own team backed by the [[Imperial Tobacco|Embassy cigarette brand]]. After an unsuccessful 1973 with a customer [[Shadow Racing Cars|Shadow]], the team commissioned its own cars from Lola. The [[Lola T370|T370]] was largely based on the [[Formula 5000]] cars of the time, and looked similar to Lola's F5000 cars, although it sported a larger airbox. The car was developed by [[Andy Smallman (motorsport designer)|Andy Smallman]] into the [[Hill GH1]] in 1975, but the team's first in-house design, the [[Hill GH2]], remained unraced when Hill, [[Tony Brise]], Smallman and several other team personnel were killed in an air crash in November 1975.

===Haas Lola===
{{Main|Haas Lola}}
The Haas Lola F1 programme was extremely promising, funded by a large American industrial conglomerate [[Beatrice Foods]] and run by the highly experienced [[Teddy Mayer]], with the promise of works Ford power, but it flattered to deceive. The handsome car, designed mostly by [[Neil Oatley]], was barely a Lola; the name was used largely because Haas was Lola's US concessionaire although Broadley had some (minimal) involvement with the car being named as Chief Engineer. [[Alan Jones (racing driver)|Alan Jones]] was tempted out of retirement to drive it in F1 races towards the end of the 1985 season, with [[Patrick Tambay]] joining in a second car for 1986. A [[Cosworth]] designed and built works [[Ford Motor Company|Ford]] turbocharged [[Cosworth GBA|engine]] was promised, but this did not materialise until 1986 and old [[Hart 415T engine|Hart]] four-cylinder units were used. Car, engine, drivers and sponsors were all troublesome and the team folded after the 1986 season with most of its assets (including the factory) being sold to [[Bernie Ecclestone]]. At one point during the season, Ecclestone informed the Haas Lola team that "his driver" (Patrese) would be in the car at the next meeting (though this never eventuated); Ecclestone was primarily interested in acquiring the Ford V6 engines as a replacement for the [[BMW M12|BMW]] units in his [[Brabham]]s but Ford vetoed this and terminated the Haas contract, offering the engines to [[Benetton Formula|Benetton]] instead. Ecclestone used the Haas team's factory in [[Colnbrook]] near Heathrow in west [[London]] to build the ill-fated [[Alfa Romeo in motorsport|Alfa Romeo]] "ProCar" (a series for "[[silhouette racing car|silhouette]]" touring cars with F1-style mechanicals and [[Alfa Romeo Tipo 1035|engines]]).

===Larrousse & Calmels===
{{Main|Larrousse}}

The Larrousse & Calmels programme was initially much lower-key than the previous effort. Starting from a simple Cosworth-powered car based on Lola's [[Formula 3000|F3000]] technologies, the French team built up a steady reputation in normally aspirated F1 from 1987 on. They attracted [[Lamborghini]] V12 power for 1989 and once the [[Chris Murphy (car designer)|Chris Murphy]]-designed car was on stream, scored some good results with [[Éric Bernard]] and [[Aguri Suzuki]]. The team experienced some problems after [[Didier Calmels]]'s arrest for the murder of his wife, but continued at a slightly lower key with [[Cosworth]] power again. Unfortunately, due to irregularities with the team's F1 entry in 1990, (the cars were entered as Larrousses but were really Lolas) they lost all their Constructors' Championship points – which promoted the politically well-connected [[Equipe Ligier|Ligier]] outfit into a position in the Constructors' Championship that gave them significant FIA benefits.{{citation needed|date=February 2007}}

===Scuderia Italia===
{{Main|BMS Scuderia Italia}}
The [[Scuderia Italia]] programme was something of a disaster from the start. The team had done reasonably well with [[Dallara]] chassis before, but turned to Lola for 1993. Powered by customer [[Scuderia Ferrari|Ferrari]] engines, both engine and car seemed to be well off the pace, [[Michele Alboreto]] and [[Luca Badoer]] struggled to even qualify for races (upon his first drive of the [[Lola T93/30|T93/30]] in a pre-season test at the [[Circuito do Estoril|Estoril circuit]] in [[Portugal]], Alboreto, a 5 time Grand Prix winner, told the teams senior Engineer Alessandro Mariani "We're dead"). Badoer finished 7th in the [[1993 San Marino Grand Prix]], a race of high attrition, to score the best Lola result of the season. The team withdrew from F1 before the final two races of the season.<ref name="Autosport Badoer">{{Cite news|url=https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/154510/in-defence-of-luca-badoer|title=In defence of Luca Badoer|last=Newbold|first=James|date=10 January 2021|access-date=10 January 2021|work=[[Autosport]]}}</ref> It partly merged with [[Minardi]] for 1994.

===Unraced test cars===
Lola built a number of Cosworth V8 powered test cars in 1994–95, with rumours of a Havoline-funded quasi-works [[Ford Motor Company|Ford]] team. The rumour was that Cosworth V12s badged [[Jaguar (car)|Jaguar]] would go to [[Benetton Formula|Benetton]], in fact no Ford/Jaguar V12 ran in F1 or elsewhere, and Lola would inherit the Zetec V8.
[[Allan McNish]] did much of the test driving, but as this was a period of instability in the F1 rules little was achieved.

===MasterCard-sponsored works programme===
{{Main|MasterCard Lola}}
Lola had originally intended to enter Formula One in their own right in 1998, but pressure from main sponsor [[MasterCard]] caused Lola to debut its new car one year early, in 1997. The sponsorship model was curious, linked both to MasterCard membership of a 'club', and to results – something a first-year F1 team often finds hard to achieve. A custom-built V10 engine from [[Al Melling]] was going to be fitted to the cars, which initially started racing fitted with underpowered [[Ford Motor Company|Ford]] [[Cosworth]] ECA V8s.

The cars had a lot of problems, the worst being aerodynamics – they had never even been tested in a wind-tunnel when they arrived in Australia, which by that point in time was unthinkable. The car was fundamentally flawed, and the lack of wind-tunnel time had made it even less competitive. Despite the car's problems, the team was confident that it could finish ahead of some of the other teams. The results were disastrous, the cars were well off the pace and were no faster than Lola's [[Formula 3000]] cars. After only one race, the sponsors pulled out; the team turned up for the second race in Brazil but the cars did not turn a wheel and that was the end of the MasterCard Lola story. Shortly afterwards, the entire Lola Car Company went into receivership. The company was saved through the purchase and cash rescue package from [[Martin Birrane]].

===Planned 2010 project and 2019 comeback attempt===
On 22 April 2009, Lola announced on its website that "Lola Group has commenced a major project comprising a full technical, operational and financial evaluation aimed at developing a car to compete in the FIA Formula One World Championship".<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20120325144219/http://www.lola-group.com/newsstory.asp?NewsId=37 lola-group.com (at Archive.org)] – Announcement of new F1 project</ref> Lola was one of several teams to lodge an entry with the FIA for the [[2010 Formula One season|2010 Formula One World Championship]].<ref>{{cite web

On 17 June, however, the company abandoned its plans to return to F1 after failing to secure a place on the initial 2010 entry list.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/motorsport/formula_one/8105474.stm|title= Lola abandons planned F1 comeback |date=2009-06-17|work=BBC Sport|access-date=2009-06-17}}</ref>

The owner of the [[Force India]] team, [[Vijay Mallya]], had intended to rename his team since mid-2017,<ref>{{Cite web |date=2017-11-21 |title=Force India dubt nog over nieuwe teamnaam |url=https://www.formule1.nl/nieuws/force-india-dubt-nog-over-nieuwe-teamnaam/ |access-date=2022-08-01 |website=Formule1.nl |language=nl}}</ref> however, this plan did not go ahead until the arrival of [[Lawrence Stroll]], a Canadian billionaire, who bought Force India in 2018 and renamed as [[Racing Point F1 Team|Racing Point]]. However, Stroll's intention was to get the rights to the name Lola (among others) to compete in the 2019 season. Stroll failed in this attempt, and Racing Point remained with that name, until rebranding to [[Aston Martin in Formula One|Aston Martin]] in 2021.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2019-02-04 |title=Force India officially becomes Racing Point after dropping plan to use Lola name · RaceFans |url=https://www.racefans.net/2019/02/04/force-india-officially-becomes-racing-point-after-dropping-plan-to-use-lola-name/ |access-date=2022-08-01 |website=RaceFans |language=en-GB}}</ref>

== Formula Two / Formula 3000 / A1GP ==
After its limited success in the 1960s with Formula One, Lola turned its attention primarily to sports cars but also to [[Formula Two]], where Lola became the works team for [[BMW]]. As the years went on, Lola had somewhat more success in Formula Two than it ever had in Formula One, although as March and later Ralt established themselves, Lola's involvement in the category became intermittent and less successful. The final Lola F2 was derived from a [[Ralt]] design – the Ralt RT2 became the [[Toleman]] TG280, which Toleman licensed to Lola who productionised it as the T850. When Formula Two was replaced by [[Formula 3000]] in 1985, Lola made a "false start" with a car based on their significantly larger Indycar chassis; from 1986 they returned with a bespoke F3000 design. Lola enjoyed significant success for the next few years, competing with [[Ralt]] and [[Reynard Motorsport|Reynard]], although Reynard effectively wiped the others out of the market. In 1996 the International Formula 3000 Championship became a one-make series, and Lola was awarded the contract by the FIA to build the Lola T96/50 chassis for all teams competing in the championship. The contract which was renewed in 1999 (Lola B99/50)<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/1999-lola-f3000-b99-50#:~:text=This%20Lola%20B99%2F50%20is,a%20five%2Dspeed%20manual%20transmission.|title = 1999 Lola F3000 B99/50}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.conceptcarz.com/s15847/lola-b99/50.aspx|title=1999 Lola B99/50 technical and mechanical specifications}}</ref> and 2002 (Lola B02/50) before International F3000 was replaced by GP2 and Lola lost the bid to build the new chassis.

[[Formula Nippon]] ran mixed grids of cars (with Reynard dominating) until 2003, when Lola was awarded that contract as well. The [[Auto GP|Euroseries 3000]] used the B02/50 from 2007 to 2009, while the ex-A1GP B05/52 chassis was introduced in 2009.

Lola succeeded in winning the largest-ever contract for single-seater racing cars in 2005, the contract for the [[A1 Grand Prix]] series. Lola built 50 identical [[Zytek]] V8-powered [[A1 Grand Prix cars#Lola-Zytek car (2005-06 to 2007-08)|A1 Grand Prix cars]] which were leased to the national franchisees (although the teams' spare cars were recalled part-way through the 2005 season to be used for spare parts); development work on these was strictly prohibited. The cars were approximately at the F3000 level of technology.{{Citation needed|date=October 2012}}

===List of F3000 chassis===
====T950====
Lola has been supplying the car body since 1985, the first year of F3000. The body, named T950, was developed based on the IndyCar [[Lola T800|T800]].

====T86/50====
The T86/50, designed by Ralph Bellamy, who had transferred from March, was supplied to International F3000. Some of the vehicles used in the International F3000 were sold to Japanese teams and used in the All Japan F3000 Championship the following year.

====T87/50====
It is a model that improved the T86/50 and made the monocoque made of carbon. In the International Formula 3000, [[Stefano Modena]], who rides the March, won the championship, but in the All Japan F3000, which was the first year of the F3000 in 1987, as the season progressed, more teams switched from March to Lola, and [[Kazuyoshi Hoshino]] switched to Lola. Hoshino became the champion.

====T88/50====
Developed for the 1988 season. In the All Japan F3000, Aguri Suzuki became the champion by making full use of both Reynard and March, and Kazuyoshi Hoshino was second in the series ranking in the Lola group.

====T89/50====
In the All Japan F3000, Hitoshi Ogawa became the series champion (the 1988 machine was used in the early stages and the 1989 machine was used after the middle stage), and Lola's strength began to stand out. Reynard was the champion machine in International F3000.

====T90/50====
Until T89/50, the engine part was exposed, but for the first time in this model, a cowl covering the engine was installed behind the roll bar. The intake to the engine is not behind the roll bar until the previous year, but introduced a design that is guided from the air duct next to the cockpit, similar to the previous year's Benetton F1.
Kazuyoshi Hoshino, who controlled this T90/50 in All Japan F3000, and Eric Comas, who entered from DAMS and drove the T90/50 in International F3000, became the champion, and Reynard users changed to Lola in the middle of the season.

====T91/50====
It looked a lot like the T90/50, but according to Lola, it was 80% new. This year, radial tires were introduced at International F3000 and the suspension geometry was reviewed.
Allan McNish, who had a hard time in International Formula 3000 and participated in the previous year's champion team DAMS, suffered two qualifying losses in the three races since the opening. The All Japan F3000 also had a hard time, and at the beginning of the season, many teams used the old T90/50, but as the season progressed, more teams introduced the T91/50.

====T92/50====
A new underbody and front wing have been adopted to correct the aerodynamic shortcomings of the T91/50 and increase stability. The Benetton-type air intake has been abolished, and intake air to the engine has been taken in from the opening behind the roll bar.
The international F3000 continued to struggle, and the only victory was Jean-Marc Gounon 's victory in the final race. At the start of the season, there was no entry for the T92/50 in the All Japan F3000, but soon more than 10 cars entered the race. Mauro Martini on Lola won the title, and Toshio Suzuki of Lola also won second place in the series ranking.

====T93/50====
It was an evolution of the previous year's model, but a new horizontal sequential gearbox made by Hewland was adopted. The T93/50 weighed between 20 kg and 25 kg, exceeding the specified weight. Journalist Manabu Kumano pointed out that the very heavy weight of the new gearbox may be the main cause of the overweight, comparing the weight balance with the previous year's model T92/50. At the All-Japan F3000, some teams took measures such as introducing lightweight under panels and transmission cases to reduce the weight of the rear of the machine and installing a T92/50 gearbox.
There was no entry in International F3000 and it was used only in Japan. He won pole positions in Rounds 7 and 8 when the finals were canceled due to heavy fog, but he never recorded a victory. Kazuyoshi Hoshino, who drives Lola, became the third champion, but Hoshino used the previous year's machine, which has abundant data and is highly reliable.
After the end of the International F3000 season, a T93/50 demonstration was held at a European circuit. The T93/50, driven by Vincenzo Sospiri, set a new time for Reynard, and Lola was confident in receiving orders from the international F3000 team for the coming season.

====T94/50====
The car body became thinner overall, and the side pods became smaller and shorter. It was thought that this change would make it aerodynamically stable and less susceptible to the pitching of the car body. Changes have also been made to the horizontal gearbox, which was pointed out to be overweight in the previous model. A new lightweight case with a total width of about 1 inch has been created, and the airflow behind the vehicle has also been improved. The weight of the car was 530 kg, and 20 kg of ballast was needed to meet the regulations.
Two teams, Nordic and Omegaland, used Lola in the International F3000, but the top of the season was Nordic Jordi Gené 's fourth place on the Catalan circuit.

====T95/50====
The body design has changed significantly from T94/50. The machine has won the international F3000 since 1992, with Mark Goosen taking third place in the series. In the All Japan F3000, it was used by the Nova The 1995 champion was won by Toshio Suzuki of Lola, but due to the older T94/50.

====T96/50====
In order to prevent the cost of entering the international F3000 from rising, the machine was Lola and the engine was Gibson Judd's one-make series, eliminating competition in terms of hardware.
The International F3000 ended in 2004, but at the Euroseries 3000 Championship, which uses the old chassis, the Lola chassis was used consistently until the end of the 2009 series.

==Formula 5000==

In the late 1960s, the [[SCCA]]'s Formula A series evolved into [[Formula 5000]] and attracted the attention of more professional drivers and teams. It was intended to be a cheap, high-powered open-wheeled racing series using relatively cheap tuned stock-block V8 engines. Lola entered this market as well, and after some interesting struggles with [[McLaren]], [[Surtees Racing Organisation|Team Surtees]] and [[Chevron Cars Ltd|Chevron]], came to dominate the later years of the series, producing the bulk of Formula 5000 cars throughout the 1970s – these competed in F5000 in Europe, the US and Australasia. The cars continued when the CanAm series was revived using Formula 5000 cars as the base. Lola made a seamless switch into this kind of "sports car racing", and won five consecutive Can-Am championships.

==USAC / CART / Champ Car==
Lola had built chassis for the [[Indianapolis 500]] as early as the 1960s – [[Graham Hill]] had won the [[1966 Indianapolis 500]] in a Lola, and [[Jackie Stewart]] raced a four-wheel drive Lola there. [[Al Unser]] won the [[1978 Indianapolis 500]] race in a modified Lola chassis. However, the marque did not make a fully fledged attack on the American open wheel market until the mid-1980s.

The revived CanAm was a fading series which collapsed in 1986, prompting Lola to move its focus to [[Champ Car|CART]] and the [[Indianapolis 500]] beginning in 1983 with [[Mario Andretti]] driving a Lola for the new [[Newman/Haas Racing]] that year. Once again, Lola showed its ability to succeed in all motorsports outside of Formula One, pushing [[March Engineering|March]] down to one team for the 1990 CART season, and out of the series altogether by 1991. Six years after its full-time entrance into Indycar racing, Lola triumphed at Indy again, as the winning car for [[Arie Luyendyk]] in the [[1990 Indianapolis 500]].

The rivalry between Lola and Reynard continued in the United States as well as the European F3000 series. Reynard entered CART in 1994 and eventually almost completely displaced Lola from the market. By 1998 only the backmarker Davis Racing team was utilizing the Lola chassis, with [[Penske Racing]] using their own chassis, [[Newman/Haas Racing]] and [[Della Penna Motorsports]] using the new [[Swift Engineering|Swift Chassis]], [[All American Racers]] running their own Eagle chassis, and all others running Reynards. However, when Penske Racing elected to abandon their proprietary chassis in 1999, they elected to run Lolas for the rest of that season, switching to Reynard for 2000 and 2001. Newman/Haas and [[Chip Ganassi Racing]] switched to Lolas in running the cars the following year. By 2001 the field was evenly split between the two cars.

Reynard's financial trouble and the fact that many of the top teams running the Reynard switched to the [[Indy Racing League]] [[IndyCar Series]] in 2002 and 2003 meant that development on the Reynard largely ceased. By 2003 Lola was the only remaining manufacturer building new chassis for the [[Champ Car]] series. For the 2007 season, Champ Car switched to a spec [[Panoz]] chassis, the [[Panoz DP01|DP01]], as its new chassis used by all competitors. The previous Lola, the B02/00, had been in the series since the 2002 season.

Lola also produced the spec chassis for the CART [[Indy Lights]] developmental series that was used from 1993 to 2001, replacing the previous car that was essentially a modified [[March Engineering|March]] 85B [[Formula 3000]] car.

Lola built chassis for a wide range of minor categories over the years. [[Formula Atlantic]] cars tended to be derived from F2 and F3 designs, and other Lolas raced in [[Formula Ford]], [[Sports 2000]], [[Formula Super Vee]] and many other categories, often designed by people who went on to successful careers elsewhere in the sport. For example, [[Patrick Head]] of Williams fame designed his first cars for Broadley. There was not much profit margin in the minor-formulae cars, which tended to be built during the summer when the factory was otherwise quiet (most senior-formulae cars are built over the winter in the off-season) – but they kept staff occupied, gave designers somewhere to learn, and established relationships with drivers at early stages of their careers.

=== Formula 3 ===
In [[Formula 3]], Lola partnered with [[Dome (constructor)|Dome]] of Japan to produce a chassis in 2003. There they were competing with long-established [[Dallara]], the two makers being among the last specialty race-car manufacturers in Europe. The partnership was broken in 2005, with Lola building their own chassis which won its debut race in the British series, but the [[Dallara]] near-monopoly held.

=== World Rally ===
The [[Lancer WRC04]] with the [[Mitsubishi Sirius engine#4G63|4G63]] engine was mounted to a 5-speed [[semi-automatic transmission]] and a new all-wheel drive system co-developed by Ricardo Consulting Engineers and Mitsubishi Motors Motorsports (MMSP). The bodywork was subjected to extensive aerodynamic testing at Lola Cars' [[wind tunnel]] and significant changes to body were made after that.

== Naming scheme ==
[[File:Mansell cart.jpg|thumb|Lola T93/00 CART IndyCar]]
At the time of Lola's creation, their sports cars and formula cars followed a naming scheme of being numbered in order of construction, and preceded by the term [[Mark (designation)|Mark]] (Mk1 through Mk6). However, in 1964, the designations were altered to become Type (marked as simply T), with the first digit or two designating what type of car, and the final digit designating a variant of that car. This continued until 1986 when the numbering scheme was slightly altered. The T would remain, yet the next two digits would designate the year of original design, and the next two would designate what type of car it was. The final digit would again denote variants of that design. This was again slightly altered in 1998, with the T being replaced by a B, in honor of Lola's owner Martin Birrane. The numbering system would however remain the same.<ref>[http://www.lolaheritage.co.uk/history/type.htm LolaHeritage.co.uk] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091002181122/http://www.lolaheritage.co.uk/history/type.htm |date=2 October 2009 }} – Numbering system information</ref>

Since employing the new system in 1986, the final two digits stand for the following types of cars:
* /00 – [[Champ Car|CART]] and [[Champ Car World Series|Champ Car]]
* /10 – [[Group C]] and [[International Motor Sports Association|IMSA]] GTP, [[Le Mans Prototype]] SR1, LMP900, and LMP1 classes
* /20 – [[Indy Lights]]
* /30 – [[Formula One]], later replaced by [[Formula Three]]
* /40 – [[Le Mans Prototype]] SR2 and LMP2 classes
* /50 – [[Formula 3000]] and [[Formula Nippon]]
* /60 – [[Le Mans Prototype]] LMP675 class, later LMP1 Coupes
* /70 – Mexican [[Formula 3000]], later [[touring car racing|touring cars]], now [[Daytona Prototype]]s
* /80 – [[Le Mans Prototype]] LMP2 Coupes
* /90 – [[Sports 2000]]

Therefore, a car like the T92/10 would be a 1992 Group C car, and the B02/00 would be a 2002 Champ Car chassis.

Note that the Lola former A1 Grand Prix cars currently do not have a designation that matches this scheme, and are marked simply as ''Lola A1GP''. The evolution of this car used in the Euroseries 3000 and its immediate successor AutoGP was given the name B0552.

==Post 1960s dairy consolidation==
Dairy products have long formed the backbone of Ireland's agricultural sector, and by the early 19th century the country was amongst the world's largest producers. In 1848, Ireland accounted for two thirds of [[butter]] imports into the port of London.<ref name="Murray Joe 2007">{{cite book| last=Murray| first=Joe| year=2007| title=Glanbia: The story so far| chapter=1| publisher=Glanbia}}</ref> Irish butter came under pressure by competitors modernising their systems with newly developed [[cream separators]]. As a consequence, Irish butter exports to London dramatically fell in the early 1880s.<ref name="Murray Joe 2007"/>

The new technologies fundamentally transformed the country's dairy sector, which had been operated by independent farmers. In order to support the cost of new equipment, dairy farmers grouped together to build centralised processing facilities – known as 'creameries'. In the late 1880s, farmers adopted the [[cooperative]] format, often to enter into direct competition with the private creameries. Farmers who supplied milk to the co-ops were better served than those who sold it to the private creameries. In time, most of those businesses found that they were unable to compete with the farmer co-operatives, and many sold their premises and businesses to the co-ops.<ref>{{cite journal| last=Breathnach| first=Proinnsias| year=2000| title=The Evolution of the Spatial Structure of the Irish Dairy Processing Industry| journal=Irish Geography| volume=33| issue=2| pages=166–184| doi=10.1080/00750770009478589| doi-access=free}}</ref>

The numbers of creameries increased substantially by 1900, and by the eve of [[World War I]], the country counted nearly 800 plants. In spite of the scarcities, political unrest and violent incidents, the World War I era had been a prosperous period for farmers. The crisis in the country's agricultural market following the war led to a large number of creameries to shut down.<ref>Murray Joe (2007), ''Glanbia – The story so far'', Chapter 2</ref>

Government policy in the 1920s further consolidated the dairy market. The number of creameries was reduced to 17 large-scale facilities in the years following [[World War II]]. At the same time, the number of cooperatives in Ireland had shrunk back to fewer than 220. Butter remained the Irish dairy industry's core product, accounting for the majority of the creameries' production.

[[Image:Cow female black white.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Holstein cow, the dominant breed in industrialised dairying today]]The members of five co-operatives agreed to join forces and become Waterford Co-operative Society Limited in 1964. The formation of Waterford Co-operative in 1964 was the first of the major amalgamations and it was the beginning of a story that would be repeated throughout Ireland over the next 40 years. The size of the co-operative gave them the opportunity to produce a bigger range of products. With its head start, Waterford was able to grow and a decade later, in 1974, this scale of operation would help in winning the French [[Yoplait]] franchise to produce the prestige range of yogurts at Inch, [[County Wexford]] – an association that continues to this day. Waterford continued growing throughout the 1970s, amalgamating with a number of other, smaller creameries.

In the meantime, 25 other cooperatives agreed to merge to establish the [[Avonmore (Cooperative)|Avonmore]] Creameries Federation by 1966. The Ballyhale C.D.S. 100 year anniversary booklet records that a federation of 25 Co-op Creameries originally emerged in January 1965 under the umbrella of Avonmore Creameries Ltd., that shares were taken in the new entity by the society and that in following years a Ballyragget milk processing factory was built. Ireland entered the Common Market in 1970. The first bulk milk collections took place from 1973, when the amalgamation was formalised. Ballyhale C.D.S. became one of 20 members of Avonmore Farmers Ltd.; the other founding members being Castlehale, Mullinavat, Iverk, Piltown, Carrigeen, Kilmacow, Ballyragget, South Tipperary, Monastarevan, Muckalee, Barrowvale, Kells, Windgap, Brandonvale, Bennetsbridge, Castlecomer, Freshford, Donaghmore and Fennor.

Backed by the British dairy giant [[Unigate]], the new federation began the construction of a new multi-purpose dairy plant in [[Ballyragget]], [[County Kilkenny]]. The plant was the biggest processing facility in Europe at that time. Today, the Ballyragget facility is the largest integrated dairy site in Europe, processing about 20% of the Irish milk pool. Avonmore originally focused on the production of butter and powdered skim milk. On 1 September 1973, 20 societies amalgamated, thus creating Avonmore Farmers Ltd. As time moved on, Unigate's involvement changed and, in 1978, the cooperative bought back Unigate's stake in the Ballyragget facility.

==International 1980s expansion==
{{unreferencedsect|date=June 2025}}
Both [[Avonmore (Cooperative)|Avonmore]] and Waterford expanded into the 1980s. At home, both companies established brand names, while Waterford continued with its [[Yoplait]] [[Franchising|franchise]]. The two co-operatives continued to add product lines. Avonmore, for example, launched Avonmore Fresh Milk on the [[Dublin]] market on 1 June 1981. The two companies, Avonmore and Waterford, went public in the 1980s. Avonmore went first, becoming Avonmore Foods plc on 6 September 1988. Waterford Foods plc was launched on the [[Irish Stock Exchange]] (ISEQ) on 6 October 1988. Both groups remained majority controlled by the dairy farmers that had formed the original co-operatives. With new access to capital, both companies embarked on a programme of expansion.

Avonmore's strategy included growing the dairy business in the [[UK]] and [[US]]. They also decided to grow the business through acquisition. Over the next nine years they made 28 acquisitions in Ireland, the UK, the US, [[Hungary]], [[Germany]] and [[Belgium]]. The major developments were in the UK with liquid milk and mozzarella cheese and in the US with cheese production in [[Wisconsin]], [[Illinois]] and [[Idaho]]. In the years following flotation, Avonmore also invested in the meat business in Ireland.

In 1989, a year after the establishment of Waterford Foods plc, the Group bought Galloway West in the US heartland dairying state of Wisconsin. The company manufactured cheese, [[condensed milk]] and food ingredients. Later in the year, Waterford bought A.Heald Limited of Manchester, a company that operated in the liquid milk and fruit juice business. Waterford also expanded in Ireland with the move into the prized Dublin milk market. In 1995, Waterford bought The Cheese Company, one of the two largest cheese manufacturers in Great Britain. Both organisations were focused on similar growth strategies at home and overseas. Speculation was, therefore, rife as to a possible [[Mergers and acquisitions|merger]] between the two dairy giants. The talks began and ended without agreement in 1991.

==Merger with Waterford==
Waterford's expansion came at a cost, and the group struggled to maintain profitability in the mid-1990s. By 1997, after Waterford posted a [[profit warning]], the group again found itself in merger talks with Avonmore. On 13 April 1997, Waterford confirmed that it had received a formal approach from Avonmore and advised that the Waterford Board was considering the approach. The prize for a successful merger would be significant: an Irish-based, world-scale food company. This proposed coming together would represent the biggest amalgamation in the history of the Irish dairy industry and possibly of Irish [[agribusiness]].

Intensive dialogue took place between Avonmore and Waterford throughout April and May 1997. On 26 May, the Boards of Waterford Foods plc and Waterford Co-operative Society met to consider amended proposals from Avonmore Foods plc and Avonmore Creameries Ltd. The merger proposals provoked serious debates at numerous shareholder meetings throughout Waterford and Avonmore. Some [[shareholders]] had strong reservations and among their concerns were issues such as perceived loss of identity, dominance by one party over another, relative valuations of the two organisations, size and scale of the new entity, representation and weakening of farmer control. The majority of shareholders believed the merger was the right option for both organisations.

The first vote took place on 11 July 1997, exactly three months after the merger was formally proposed. The first vote followed an intensive six-week programme of shareholder information meeting throughout the Waterford and Avonmore areas. The successful merger of Avonmore Creameries Limited and Waterford Co-operatives Society, on 4 September 1997, formed the new Avonmore Waterford Co-operative Society. On the same date, the merger of Avonmore Foods plc and Waterford Foods plc, formed the new Avonmore Waterford Group (AWG) plc.<ref>Murray Joe (2007), ''Glanbia – The story so far'', Chapter 8</ref>

==1990s reorganisation==
{{unreferencedsect|date=June 2025}}
[[Image:BaileysIrishCream.JPG|thumb|upright|Glanbia, principal cream supplier to Baileys Irish Cream]]

The 1997 merger created the fourth biggest dairy processor in Europe and the fourth biggest cheese producer in the world. The Avonmore Waterford Group announced a reorganisation programme to increase their competitiveness. The strategy was to concentrate food ingredients activities in large-scale facilities in Ireland and the US. The US development strategy focused on the Avonmore West operation in Idaho which benefited from scale, location, and a growing milk supply. Following the US$20 million investment programme, Avonmore West became a supplier of dairy food and nutritional ingredients. As a result, the company disposed of its smaller cheese business in Wisconsin.

In Ireland, food ingredients activities were to be located mainly at Ballyragget and Virginia. Within the consumer food business, liquid milk operations were to be located at [[Ballytore]], [[Waterford]], and [[Drogheda]]. These decisions resulted in the closure of smaller facilities.

In the UK, the Group closed its Appleby cheese facility and also disposed of the Manchester-based juice business during 1997. The cost-saving measures targeted to save £20 million in 1998 and £40 million in 1999. It was anticipated that the programme would reduce jobs in AWG from 11,900 to 10,600. Job losses would be 750 in Ireland and 550 in the UK.

By May 1999, the reorganisation programme, announced in November 1997, was virtually complete. The Ballyragget site had been enhanced to accommodate the additional milk volumes. In the US, the Group was investing US$36 million in Idaho to increase cheese production by 30 percent and dairy-based food ingredients production by 22 percent. On 1 June 1999, the Group announced two important strategic sales. The first was the disposal of the UK liquid milk operations to Express Dairies, for £125 million. The second was the sale of its Irish beef processing operations to Dawn Meats for £10 million.

==New corporate identity==
On 15 February 1999, an [[Extraordinary General Meeting]] and Special General Meeting were held to seek the necessary approval for the introduction of a new name. The change of title from Avonmore Waterford Group to Glanbia became official on 4 March 1999.{{cn|date=June 2025}} The name Glanbia has its roots in the [[Irish language]] – Glanbia means "pure food" in Irish.

On 11 August 2000, Glanbia announced a joint venture with Leprino Foods. Leprino was the world's largest producer of [[mozzarella]] cheese. As part of the joint venture, [[Leprino Foods]] took a 49 per cent interest in Glanbia Cheese UK and granted exclusive use of Leprino's patented technology to Glanbia.{{cn|date=June 2025}}

International joint ventures became a key element of the group's growth strategy. Consequently, in October 2003, Glanbia and [[PZ Cussons plc]] announced a €20 million joint venture to build a new factory in Nigeria to supply evaporated milk and milk powders to the Nigerian market.{{cn|date=June 2025}} The name selected for the new joint venture company was Nutricima. Glanbia entered into yet another joint venture, this time with the Great Southwest Agency in New Mexico, US. Building commenced at Southwest Cheese in January 2004 and the official opening of Southwest Cheese took place in 2006.{{cn|date=June 2025}}

Glanbia continued to refine its focus, targeting the new and fast-growing 'nutritional' foods segment. In 2003, the company announced its intention to exit the fresh meat market which was subsequently sold in a management buy-out in 2008.<ref>{{cite news| url=https://www.rte.ie/news/business/2008/0303/100369-glanbia/| title=Glanbia sells pigmeat arm to management team| work=RTÉ News| date=3 March 2008| access-date=23 October 2021}}</ref>

==Nutritional foods==
After establishing a nutritional business in January 2003, Glanbia acquired the German-based Kortus Food Ingredients Services (KFIS) in 2004. KFIS specialises in the production, research, and development of micronutrient premixes. The purchase increased Glanbia's product range and brought further access to markets in Germany and Central Europe.<ref>{{cite press release| publisher=Glanbia plc| date=7 December 2004| url=https://www.glanbia.com/sites/glanbia/files/glanbia/press-releases/Archive/07-2004.pdf| title=Strategic nutritionals acquisition| access-date=23 October 2021}}</ref> On 6 September 2006, Glanbia announced the acquisition of the [[California]]-based micronutrient premix business, Seltzer Companies Inc. The acquisition of Seltzer was a logical addition to the previously acquired KFIS.<ref>Glanbia plc (2006), [http://www.glanbia.com/press-release ''Glanbia makes major US nutritionals acquisition''], Retrieved 3 June 2011</ref> Both businesses have since changed their names to Glanbia Nutritionals. In 2007, Glanbia further expanded their micronutrient premix business with the completion of a new premix plant in [[Suzhou, Jiangsu|Suzhou]], [[China]].{{cn|date=June 2025}}

As part of its international expansion, Glanbia acquired the Canadian nutritional business Pizzey's Milling in August 2007. Pizzey's, which mills [[flaxseed]], created a way into the North American [[omega-3]] market.{{cn|date=June 2025}}

Glanbia again expanded its presence in the North American market in 2008 through its acquisition of the Illinois-based sports supplement firm Optimum Nutrition (ON). ON has a strong presence in the US market for whey-based sports supplements.<ref>{{cite news| title=Glanbia buys US sports nutrition co for $315 mln| url=https://www.reuters.com/article/glanbia-acquisition-idINDUB00069520080825| date=25 August 2008| work=[[Reuters]]| access-date=23 October 2021}}</ref> In January 2011, Glanbia announced the acquisition of Bio-Engineered Supplements and Nutrition (BSN), extending their sports nutrition portfolio.

==Proposed Irish dairy division sale to farmers==
In April 2010, Glanbia plc announced plans to sell its Irish dairy and agri-business division to the Glanbia Co-Operative Society. The farmer-led co-op owns 54.6% of the company. The Irish dairy and agri-business includes brands such as Kilmeaden, Avonmore and Yoplait. The deal was aimed at freeing up Glanbia plc to pursue its global cheese and nutritional ambitions, but it failed to achieve the necessary three-quarters approval from the co-op's members on 10 May, falling just short at 73%.<ref>{{cite news| title=Glanbia revives plans to sell control of Dairy Ireland to farmers co-op| url=https://www.irishtimes.com/business/agribusiness-and-food/glanbia-revives-plans-to-sell-control-of-dairy-ireland-to-farmers-co-op-1.2984644| date=22 February 2017| last=Brennan| first=Joe| newspaper=The Irish Times| location=Dublin| access-date=23 October 2021}}</ref>

On 25 November 2012, Glanbia disposed of 60% of its Irish dairy processing business to Glanbia Co-Operative Society Limited (the "Society"). As a result, the Irish dairy processing business, now called Glanbia Ingredients Ireland Limited ("GIIL")became an associate of Glanbia plc.{{cn|date=June 2025}}
