Müller invests in German yogurt production
Müller revealed it would gradually close down a Landliebe yogurt site earlier this year.
Müller has revealed it is set to build a new production facility at its Alois Müller dairy in Germany for jarred yogurt products sold under the Landliebe brand.
The building will be equipped for filling, sorting and cleaning returnable jars, the company said. It will “significantly expand the production capacity for yogurt at the site”, Müller added.
The 4,500 square-metre site will be completed for summer 2025, with production scheduled to start in the first half of 2026. Müller said 50 jobs will be created as part of the investment at the dairy in Aretsried, Swabia.
Müller has invested around €140m ($152m) in the Aretsried site over the past ten years, including a new high-bay warehouse, an extension to the administration building and now the new production building.
The dairy group did not disclose how much was being invested into the new building.
In February, Müller revealed that it would gradually close down two sites it bought from FrieslandCampina last year: one in Schefflenz and one in Heilbronn. The latter was used to produce Landliebe yogurt products.
Last month, Müller acquired family-owned UK dairy company Yew Tree Dairy for an undisclosed fee. The dairy major said it would use Yew Tree’s milk powder to grow its export business and “drive supply-chain resilience”.
