Germany: Muller to build new yoghurt facility

Muller, the German dairy giant, has announced plans to build a 4,500 sq m production facility in Aretsried, Germany for the manufacture of Landliebe yoghurt, specialising in reusable glass jars.

The new facility will be equipped with state-of-the-art machinery for filling, sorting, and cleaning the jars, and will increase overall yoghurt production capacity at the site.

Commenting on the move, Muller Germany managing director Cornelia Heiser said: “This investment is an important step for one of the Landliebe brand’s iconic products, yoghurt in a jar, which will be bottled in Aretsried from 2026. The site is the birthplace of the Müller brand, which has developed from here to its current strength. With the same spirit, we now want to help the Landliebe brand regain its former strength in the market”.

Muller has invested roughly €140 million ($152.6 million) 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 new facility is expected to be completed in the summer of 2025 and will create approximately 50 new jobs.
