Dairy products

Butter is our daily bread

Our dairy products division deals with the development, production and marketing of milk-based foods including butter, mixed fat spreads and concentrated butter, either under our own brand or as private label brands for our customers.

At our cheese production plant in Bismark (Altmark), we also produce Gouda-type, Edam-type and butter cheeses exclusively for some established trade partners. These semi-hard block cheeses are ripened in special films.  Freshness and short supply routes are essential to us. Consequently, this business division focuses on the markets in Germany and adjoining neighboring states.
