Ehrmann, a German dairy firm, has announced the acquisition of Trewithen Dairy, a family-owned dairy processor based in Cornwall, as it seeks to boost its presence in the UK market.
Following the acquisition, Ehrmann will invest £20 million ($25.4 million) to develop a production facility for its High Protein and Grand Dessert lines. The facility is projected to be operational by 2026.
Commenting on the acquisition, Ehrmann SE chairman Christian Ehrmann said: “Ehrmann has enjoyed success in the UK over the last two years working with major supermarket chains to bring new dairy tastes to consumers. The acquisition is highly significant as it opens up local UK production; enabling us to reduce the carbon footprint and guarantee the freshness of our products”.
Trewithen Dairy owner Francis Clarke added: “We’re incredibly proud of our roots in quality pastures and cows that produce some of the best milk in the world. Quality and sustainable growth are core values we share deeply with our new colleagues at Ehrmann. That’s why we decided to join forces to breathe fresh air into the Cornish dairy industry as we enter our next phase of expansion”.
